Commercial structure ablaze: Inferno ravages commercial edifice
In an incident that unfolded around 19:15 on Friday, the Bottrop Fire Department was called to a fire at Brakerstraße. Dark smoke was billowing from inside an industrial hall, signalling the urgency of the situation.
The ventilation of individual sections within the industrial hall proved to be more complex, adding to the challenge faced by the firefighters. A team from the Bottrop Fire Department, equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus, bravely entered the building to combat the flames.
Besides the professional fire brigade of Bottrop, the volunteer fire departments of Boy, Vonderort, and Kirchhellen, equipped with a turntable ladder, also joined the efforts to extinguish the fire. The combined efforts of these teams managed to bring the fire under control.
The Bottrop Fire Department stayed at the scene until around 21:00, ensuring that the fire was fully extinguished and the area was safe. However, no further details about the cause of the fire or any potential damage have been provided.
