Fire in Oberkochen: Hardening system in company buildings on flames!

In the early morning hours on Tuesday, the fire brigade in Oberkochen was alerted at 5:30 a.m. The reason was a fire in a company building on Leitzstrasse, triggered by an overheated filter of a hardening system. With a massive use of seven fire engines and 30 firefighters, the inferno was quickly deleted. Fortunately, no people were injured, but the amount of damage has not yet been determined.

Also on Tuesday morning, an accident occurred on the K3210 in the direction of Tannhausen. A 74-year-old man wanted to turn into a dirt road with his tractor team and collided with an overtaking car. The driver of the car suffered minor injuries. In another incident, unknown perpetrators smeared the Hornberghalle with bright colors between April 21 and May 5, which caused property damage of around 4,000 euros. The Schwäbisch Gmünd police station accepts information.

The situation in the Bopfingen Werkrealschule was particularly dramatic, where a 14-year-old student exuded irritant gas in a toilet on Monday. This led to a total of 18 people, including two teachers. However, medical care was not necessary. The fire brigade ensured that the affected area was ventilated, and school operations were continued. The student is now being investigated.
