Major fire in Lichterfelde: Fire brigade fights against flaming inferno!

A major fire turned the industrial site in Lichterfelde, Berlin, into a sea of ​​flames on Sunday morning. As [tagesschau.de](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/regional/berlin/rbb-industriegelaende-in-berlin-lichterfelde- stands-in-flammen-102.html) reports, the incident occurred shortly before half past five when the fire department was alerted. The flames and thick smoke were visible from afar, which motivated the fire department to launch a large-scale operation on site.

The situation turned out to be extremely dramatic. Part of the roof of a warehouse collapsed, and several extensions and parts of an office building were also affected by the fire. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but extinguishing it requires great effort as the fire department decided not to use an excavator to tear down the side walls. This is to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings. The team is currently concentrating on extinguishing fires from outside.

Fire department on a large scale

To ensure that no environmentally harmful substances are involved, the fire department's environmental service is also on site to closely monitor the situation. Fortunately, no hazardous materials were stored in the burning buildings. According to spiegel.de there is currently no further information about the exact cause of the fire or the property damage.
