At a final briefing with all rescue workers on site, operations manager and Allershausen's fire brigade commander Friedrich Moser thanked everyone for the good cooperation at around eleven, before the majority of the numerous fire brigades made their way home.
Moser ordered excavators for the completely destroyed supermarket.
The mission is far from over.

The owner of the building, Stefan Pellmeyer, is also on site - but takes the destruction of the building calmly.
“The main thing is that no one has been harmed,” he says.
And he is glad that the cause of the fire has been determined.
“The man who parked his van under the canopy just wanted to get a quick snack from Edeka,” he says.
"When he came back, his vehicle was on fire."

After it is clear that no one is injured and most fire brigades can go home, the comrades from Kirchdorf take time for a birthday serenade before they go home - they have two birthday children in their own ranks.
Kathrin Eder and Elias Gerlsbeck will be 19 and 20 years old respectively today.

“The best present is that no one was harmed today,” they both agree.
And operations manager Friedrich Moser is also relieved about it.
It's his birthday too today.
“But that doesn't really matter at the moment,” he says, putting his helmet back on and continuing to work.
Sandra Reinmann from Kranzberg and her mother Andrea Heine, who is currently visiting from Cottbus, witnessed the first of, as they say, three small explosions in a white van that was parked under the roof of the Penny-Markt.

Sandra Reinmann immediately notifies the fire brigade, walks into the supermarket and shouts: “Everyone out of here immediately, there's a fire!” The eyewitness reports that around ten customers were in the store at this time.

The employees and everyone who wants to shop early leave the building.
“One woman complained a lot, she said that you could still go shopping,” says Reinmann, shaking his head.
“I was really shocked by so much cold temper,” says the 44-year-old.
Sandra Reinmann and Andrea Heine also deal with the people in front of the supermarket who, without finding out whether the fire brigade has already been notified or whether there are injuries, pull out their cell phones immediately to take photos and videos.
“How can you be so indifferent?” The two women wait several hours on the fringes of the action before they go home, wanting to assure themselves until the end that nobody has really been harmed.
