Overview

• About 50 firefighters, including four breathing apparatus teams from Bad Bramstedt and Großenaspe, contained flames that were limited to the truck’s rear and loose wood pellets.
• Towing specialists worked alongside fire crews to offload burning cargo in sections, allowing teams to fully extinguish the blaze by around 23:00.
• Traffic on the A7 toward Flensburg was disrupted for hours as lanes were closed to ensure safety and facilitate cleanup operations.
• Initial reports of a full vehicle fire were revised after responders determined the flames were confined to the silo trailer’s pellet load.
• Officials have launched an inquiry into the fire’s origin and begun assessing the extent of property damage.
