Sattelzug Infernal in flames: B 401 for hours closed!

B 401 zwischen Jeddeloh 2 und Mosleshöhe, Deutschland - In the afternoon of February 15, 2025, the supporter of a tractorizer on the B 401 between Jeddeloh 2 and Mosleshöhe caught fire. The driver noticed the fire on the cooling unit while driving and stopped the vehicle. He coupled the tractor and brought it out of the danger area, although his own extinguishing attempts failed. The trailer, which was loaded with meat and sausages, fell in full fire.

The volunteer fire brigade was immediately informed and was able to fight the flames after its arrival. In order to get to the cargo, the fire brigade had to open the trailer. The suspected cause of the fire is in a technical defect in the area of the cooling system. During the extinguishing and recovery work, the B 401 was fully closed for two and a half hours, which led to significant traffic disruptions, such as "https://www.nwzonline.de/ammerland/brand-auf-b-b-anhaenger-e---sattelzes-in-flammen_4,404867562.html" Class = "Source_1" Target = "_ blank" rel = "noopener noreferrer"> nwzonline.de reported.
