Overview
- In Flensburg, a large pile of scrap and electronic waste has burned since just before midnight with repeated small explosions, drawing more than 100 responders, specialized extinguishing agents, heavy equipment, and smoke alerts for residents.
- A warehouse in Rheinsberg storing around 30 boats burned overnight with intermittent blasts, more than 50 firefighters contained exposure to a nearby workshop, damage is estimated at at least 10 million euros, and NINA issued stay‑indoors guidance.
- Separate residential blazes caused fatalities in Michendorf, Schülp, and Wertheim, while other buildings were evacuated and cordoned, including a four‑storey block in Zweibrücken where crews cleared the site for investigators.
- Police in Kusel report multiple explosions at a garden‑house fire where a resident suffered severe burns and was airlifted, with no current indications of third‑party involvement though the cause remains under review.
- Kriminalpolizei units are probing suspected arson in discrete cases, including two cars torched in Kassel and an October series of blazes in Oschersleben where investigators believe the perpetrators likely had local knowledge.
