Overview
- A conveyor belt that carries wood residues caught fire about 22 metres high at the Heizkraftwerk Moabit and was located between two halls.
- The Berlin Fire Department launched a large operation that grew to around 102 firefighters on site and used external access to attack the blaze.
- All plant employees moved to safety and officials reported no injuries as roads including Friedrich‑Krause‑Ufer and Putlitzstraße were closed for the response.
- Firefighters reported the fire spread from the conveyor to the plant’s boiler house but said they brought the blaze under control later in the morning.
- The site had a separate, smaller fire earlier in the week that did not affect the plant’s operations, and crews are investigating how the conveyor fire started and whether further damage occurred.
