Incident Description:
On June 11, 2023, Neueste Nachrichten reported a fire at a woodworking shop in Malsche, Germany.
The district fire brigade association in Karlsruhe reported that the fire originated from the building facade. Additionally, a smoldering fire emerged in a container filled with wood chips situated in close proximity.
Upon arrival at approximately 10:30 a.m., the Malsch volunteer fire brigade found that the employees had already initiated initial firefighting efforts. However, due to the significant development of smoke, the alarm level was escalated, prompting the involvement of all departments within the Malsch fire brigade.
The Ettlingen fire brigade, also alerted to the scene, utilized a turntable ladder to remove a section of the roof paneling from the company building to ensure complete extinguishment of any remaining embers.
The estimated property damage amounts to 20,000 euros. By around 11 a.m., the fire in the wood chip container was successfully extinguished, and the fire department remained on site until 1:30 p.m. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
