With a strong force of 60 firefighters, the fire department was quickly on site and had the fire under control within the next three hours. Fortunately, there is no danger for residents because the workshop is in the commercial area and the wind was favorable.

Difficult situation in the supermarket

But the night before was anything but quiet. Loud Picture The fire started around 9:15 p.m. in a carport that was directly adjacent to a Norma supermarket. For reasons that are still unclear, the fire spread quickly and completely destroyed the supermarket. The damage is estimated at a shocking 1.5 million euros.

Almost 80 firefighters and 11 vehicles were needed to fight the fire. Residents were asked to keep windows and doors closed as there was thick smoke. An investigation has been launched and the public prosecutor's office has already appointed fire experts who were able to determine that a technical defect in a car battery in the carport probably triggered the devastating fire.

Fire causes and statistics

Like from the IFS As can be seen, technical defects in electrical components in particular are often the cause of fires in workshops and garages. These findings could also support the investigation results of the two fires in Laage.
