Incident Description:
On November 17, 2022, Soester Anzeiger reported a fire at an agribusiness location in Möhnesee, Germany.
Firefighters arrived soon after being called at 1:09 p.m. To be on the safe side, the turntable ladder of the Soest fire brigade was also brought in because of the high grain silos . The fire brigade had the fire itself under control relatively quickly but clearing out the metal shed to search for and extinguish embers took longer.
No injuries were reported.
