Engine compartment on fire - Mercedes A-Class heavily damaged

On Wednesday afternoon, a vehicle fire on Rammersweierstraße kept the OFFENBURG FIRE DEPARTMENT busy. The driver of a Mercedes A-Class was stopped at a traffic light near the intersection of Zeller Straße in the eastern part of Offenburg, when smoke and flames suddenly began to rise from the engine compartment.
The man managed to exit his car unharmed. He got away with quite a scare.

Firefighters, who arrived a few minutes later, extinguished the fire in the engine compartment of the small car. The heat was so intense that it burned through the car's hood. Total loss due to the extensive fire cannot be ruled out.

During the operation, Rammersweierstraße had to be completely closed off at the Union ramp. The fire department was on site with three vehicles and ten men.
