Report
In Sankt Alban, a fire broke out in a large warehouse at a biogas plant for reasons that remain unclear. The approximately 1,000 m² warehouse was already fully engulfed in flames when the first responders from the municipality of Nordpfälzer Land arrived. In addition to tractors and cars, the warehouse also stored other equipment used to operate the biogas plant.
Thanks to the rapid response of the first responders on the scene, the fire was prevented from spreading to other buildings at the biogas plant. A tanker truck and the drone unit from Winnweiler provided support in firefighting and reconnaissance, respectively.
The total damage is estimated at approximately €2,000,000.
