In Munich there was a larger fire brigade operation on Sunday.
This was preceded by calls for help and heavy smoke from an underground car park.
Munich – On Sunday afternoon, December 4th, a large contingent of the Munich fire brigade and rescue service was deployed.
The reason for this was heavy smoke coming from an underground car park in the Isarvorstadt district.
One person had to be treated on site.

They were able to confirm the heavy smoke development as soon as they arrived.
