The fire broke out today in an underground car park on Feldstrasse in Ottobrunn.

Ottobrunn - When the fire brigade reached the scene of the accident, flames hit them from the garage door.
On Thursday morning (December 30th) a tragedy occurred in Feldstrasse in Ottobrunn.
A man was burned to death in his car.
The police are currently assuming a technical defect.
The Ottobrunner could no longer free himself from his Opel Astra, according to the police.
It is still unclear exactly why the fire broke out.
The criminal police are investigating.
Rescue workers try to save man
The fire brigade's forces tried to save the man, says the head of operations at the Ottobrunn fire brigade.
He presumably died before their arrival.
The fire brigade for the district of Munich reported that the Ottobrunn fire brigade arrived in Feldstrasse just four minutes after the alarm was raised.
Accordingly, two phases of action were formed: Wearers of breathing apparatus extinguished the fire in the underground car park.
In the second section, emergency services took the residents of three apartment buildings outside because of smoke in the stairwell.
Flaming inferno: the underground car park is on fire.

Aid organization supports buildings
Because of the intense heat, the rescue workers were also concerned about the statics of the garage, which has around 40 parking spaces.
The technical relief organization erected additional pillars.
The Rosenheimer Landstrasse and the Feldstrasse were partially closed, the regular bus service was also temporarily closed.
The fire brigades from Neubiberg, Taufkirchen and Unterhaching were also involved.
Fire brigades from several communities were involved in the extinguishing work.
