Catastrophic wreckage inflicted on a warehouse following fiery blaze
In the heart of Biebrich and Kastel, a former car dealership-turned-warehouse was the scene of an unexpected incident. A fire, caused by a technical fault in an electrical distribution box of a brake tester, broke out in the warehouse.
The fire department from Fire Station 2, Biebrich volunteer fire department, and Kastel volunteer fire department responded swiftly to the incident. Upon their arrival, black smoke was billowing from the complex. The fire department had to force entry to the property and the warehouse to combat the blaze.
Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident. The fire was quickly brought under control, but smoke extraction from the warehouse took a long time due to the building's large size and the extensive smoke spread. As a result, the smoke spread in the hall and onto the new vehicles, estimated to cause property damage exceeding one million euros.
The closure of Rheingaustraße caused traffic disruptions, but no new information about the extent of these disruptions was provided. The Wiesbaden fire department was present with 32 personnel and 9 vehicles, and they are the publishers of this press release.
However, further details about the cause of the fire, the size of the warehouse, the extent of the smoke spread, and the fire department's response are not available in the provided information. If more details or alternate sources become available, we will update this report accordingly.
