Fire in Waldkraiburg's Underground Garage Causes Heavy Damage
A fire in an underground parking garage in Waldkraiburg, Mühldorf am Inn, has resulted in substantial damage, estimated to be several hundred thousand euros. Two vehicles were completely gutted, and a third was showing signs of ignition, according to the police. Remarkably, the fire didn't extend to the residential buildings above, despite the parking garage being located beneath them. However, residents of nearby houses were temporarily evacuated as a precaution. Initial investigations revealed no reports of injuries. The exact origin of the fire remains unclear at this point.
Intriguingly, this recent incident in Upper Bavaria isn't an isolated case. Historical records might shed light on similar incidents, such as a fire that occurred in a 70-year-old United Methodist Church in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, a few hours after Christmas services in December 1988[1].
