Large deployment on Christmas morning: smoke development in Laupheimer Halle!

A devastating fire broke out in a drying system of a biogas plant at Santa's morning in Laupheim, which resulted in a massive use of the fire brigade. A farmer noticed smoke in his hall at 8:50 a.m. and immediately alerted the emergency services. What started as a routine use quickly developed into a large -scale operation: the fire brigade had to open the drying system and fill with extinguishing foam to fight the flames. A technical defect had caused the smoke extraction to not work, which caused enormous smoke development and high temperatures. The damage to the drying system is estimated at around 500,000 euros, but the biogas plant itself remained intact, reported the Swabian Zeitung .

evacuation after auto fire outbreak

Just a few weeks earlier, on November 22, 2023, 50 people had to be evacuated from a nearby refugee accommodation due to a fire in a carport in Laupheim. A vehicle had started to burn at night and the flames quickly spread to the carport and adjacent buildings. Five people were brought to a clinic with suspected smoke poisoning. The fire brigade workers were on site until morning to fight embers and stabilize the situation. The warn app Nina was activated due to the strong smoke development of the residents, such as the Südwest Press reported.
