Firewood warehouse burns in Nübel – fire department fights against flames!

In the small community of Nübel, north of Schleswig, there was a dramatic incident this morning: a warehouse for firewood and wood chips has been completely on fire since early this morning. According to NDR, the flames were reported shortly before six o'clock and a large emergency team was quickly on site. Around 70 firefighters and the Technical Relief Agency (THW) were mobilized to fight the fire. Fortunately, no people were injured, so the situation remains calm despite the commotion.

The hall, which covers an area of ​​approximately 300 square meters, was filled exclusively with wooden materials. [n-tv]. Thanks to an effective bolt position, an adjacent hall could be protected from the flames, making the work of the emergency services easier.

Is the extinguishing work taking longer?

Firefighters have been battling the flames for hours. The extinguishing work is complex and is currently still ongoing. However, information about the exact cause of the fire or the extent of the damage is not yet available. The police officers still have to clarify these details, as can be read on NDR.

Statistics show that fires occur again and again in Germany, often for unclear reasons. Comprehensive and uniform fire statistics are missing, but FeuerTrutz provides an insight into the most common causes of fire and their consequences. Numbers and statistics would perhaps depend on measures being taken to improve fire protection in the future.

While the fire brigade continues to do its work, it is hoped that the residents in and around Nübel can remain calm despite the event. A situation like this shows how important a well-organized fire department is. We will monitor developments regarding this incident and report as soon as new information becomes available.
