Huge fire in Fechenheim: warehouse is on fire!

On the night of October 15, 2024, a devastating fire broke out in a warehouse in the Fechenheim district, Frankfurt am Main at around 9:00 p.m. According to numerous emergency calls, the fire brigade raced to the site, where meter -high flames slapped out of the roof and a massive cloud of smoke rose to the night sky. The emergency services immediately started the extinguishing work and alarmed additional units.
