Regensburg Harbor Warehouse Fire Brought Under Control After Pre-Dawn Blaze

Access to the harbor area remains limited pending a cause investigation.

Overview

  • About 140 firefighters responded after a passerby reported flames around 5 a.m. at a warehouse on Auweg.
  • Crews evacuated 12 residents from nearby homes, and police reported no injuries.
  • Sub-zero temperatures froze water on the ground and on a fire engine, complicating suppression.
  • Municipal public-works teams spread road salt to keep operations safe for responders.
  • Investigators have not determined the origin of the fire, and mop-up is expected to take hours as police urge drivers to avoid the area.
