Overview

• Firefighters abandoned a top-water attack after limited effect and began controlled emptying of the 30-meter silo, with nitrogen flooding under review to smother the smoldering coal.
• Officials expect the effort to take up to three days, with minimal smoke reported and a nearby street closed as THW experts monitor the silo’s structural safety.
• At Munich’s CSU headquarters, passersby put out a petrol-fueled blaze that caused minor facade damage, and state protection investigators have taken the case as the search for suspects continues.
• Police detailed several large weekend fires in Bavaria that caused seven-figure property losses without injuries, with arson investigators examining the origins.
• Elsewhere, a hall fire in Gengenbach halted Schwarzwaldbahn service, Mansfeld police opened a shed‑arson probe after a €5,000 blaze, and two residents were rescued from a Grimma care home fire.
