Massive smoke development in Dresden suburb: fire brigade on duty!
A dramatic morning in the Leipzig suburb: On Friday there was a fire in a dilapidated, empty building at the old Leipzig train station. The fire department responded at 8:10 a.m. after numerous residents became aware of the massive smoke. The report from Sächsische.de shows that the fire was difficult to access because the area is fenced off and overgrown vegetation made it difficult for emergency services to get to the source of the fire. The fire was therefore only fought from the outside.
The situation led to the fire department also warning residents via the Nina app. They were instructed to keep windows and doors closed and to switch off ventilation systems to protect themselves from the development of smoke. Although there were odors in the area, the fire department was able to give the all-clear: public safety was not threatened. Nevertheless, the event led to traffic delays on Leipziger Straße, which are likely to have a significant impact on morning commuters.
