On Friday, the Munich fire brigade responded to a major fire in the north of the city.

A warehouse was on fire.

The extinguishing work was difficult.

  • Large-scale operation in Munich

    : The fire brigade's mission to the fire in the Euro industrial park will probably take longer

    (update 1:20 p.m.).

  • The

    fire

    in the warehouse in Freimann is now

    under control

    , but has not yet been extinguished

    (update 1:20 p.m.).

  • The gathering

    storm

    makes the extinguishing work even more difficult (update 6:04 p.m.).

Update, 6:04 p.m .:

The extinguishing work is still ongoing and will probably continue into the night.

The extent of the damage and the cause can therefore not yet be determined.

But the police are already investigating.

A total of around 100 emergency services from the professional fire brigade, volunteer fire brigade and THW were deployed.

The use of the helpers is also made more difficult by the approaching storm.

According to the fire brigade, loose metal parts would have to be secured separately so that they could not be blown away and cause damage.

Update, 2:12 p.m .:

When asked by our editors, GO! writes:

"In the GO!

A fire broke out at the Munich station this morning, which spread in particular to one part of the building, the warehouse.

The fire brigade was alerted immediately and the emergency services were able to bring the fire under control, so that other building units of the GO!

station did not catch fire.

Neighboring buildings were spared from the flames, and there was no personal injury.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown, as is the amount of damage caused.

According to the current state of affairs, operations can generally be continued - as expected, restrictions may occur."

Update 1:20 p.m .:

A spokesman for the Munich fire brigade confirms: The fire is now under control, but has not yet been extinguished.

His colleagues could not enter the hall because of the danger of collapsing, so the entire roof structure had to be opened with a crane and the fire extinguished from above.

That is a bit complicated: "It will take a long time," the spokesman continued.

People were not in danger and were not injured.

One person was briefly checked, but did not need treatment.

The police and fire brigade were initially unable to say what was stored in the hall.

However, nothing is known about dangerous goods.

Update, 1:11 p.m .:

The Munich fire department has contained the fire.

The extinguishing work continues.

Good news from Freimann: The heavy smoke has become less.

The extinguishing work continues.
