Thanks to the swift intervention of the fire brigade, the fire in the building was quickly contained. Only 5 roll containers with shipments were affected. There was no significant fire damage to the building.
However, the entire interior of the hall was heavily soiled by soot, which will require extensive and expensive cleaning work.
No one was injured in the fire or the firefighting efforts.
According to the current state of investigations, there are no indications of external interference or a shipment with hazardous substances that could have caused the fire. A technical defect in the building is also considered unlikely.
The Weil am Rhein police station has taken over the investigation into the cause of the fire. At present, it is highly likely that improperly packaged goods or a defective electronic small device in one of the shipments (e.g. a damaged battery of a mobile phone) is suspected.
So far, there have been no indications of tampering with any of the shipments.
