Overview
- An early Sunday fire at an industrial complex on Barnackufer in Berlin‑Lichterfelde drew up to 100 firefighters and was later declared out with no injuries reported.
- The roof of a two‑storey hall and parts of an office block collapsed, forcing an exterior‑only attack following advice from a THW structural expert.
- Poor local water supply complicated the response, so crews tapped a nearby power plant’s hydrant network and drew additional water from the Teltowkanal using a tanker and a boat.
- Roughly 400 square meters burned, yet firefighters kept the flames from reaching nearby premises, including an adjacent car repair business with an oil storage.
- The origin remains under investigation, with officials saying the fire likely began on a neighboring yard with huts and small workshops; small propane canisters were secured and environmental services were engaged due to foam use.
