Overview

• Fire crews brought in tracked firefighting robots from Vechta overnight, including a unit called “Superwolf,” to pull apart and open dangerous containers by remote control.
• The operation remains prolonged with a static situation as teams continue cooling hotspots and methodically opening containers, and authorities cannot predict when the work will end.
• Two containers ignited around 4 a.m. Wednesday and were doused from a safe distance with water cannons, with no additional injuries reported.
• Roughly 30 to 50 personnel have been rotating on scene to uncover smoldering pockets and maintain water curtains to prevent flare-ups between containers.
• The blaze began Monday after a car caught fire in a freight warehouse on Müggenburger Straße, where exploding gas cylinders believed to contain nitrous oxide intensified the spread, injuring six people, including a woman now in stable condition.
