Huge fire on the Müritz: three firefighters injured!

In the picturesque city, a heavy fire occurred today on the Müritz, which covered both a restaurant and several boat sheds. Around noon, the fire broke out in the popular restaurant "Zum Klönpott", which was currently in renovation, and quickly expanded to adjacent boat halls, where dangerous materials such as colors and paints were stored. The authorities are currently warning of heavy smoke development, which caused residents to close windows and doors.

During the extinguishing work, there was a dramatic incident in the afternoon: parts of the burning building collapsed, which injured three firefighters - one of them seriously. The fire brigade was forced to break off its efforts to combat active fire fighting and have the building burned down in order to ensure the safety of the emergency services. A firefighter was spilled under the rubble, but was recovered and was brought to a hospital with serious injuries. Another comrade suffered a shock and required medical aid on site, while a third firefighter bought slight injuries.

environmental measures and support for the emergency services

To prevent environmental damage, the Alt Schwerin volunteer fire brigade was alerted. She has set up an oil barrier at the Müritz to avoid that the extinguishing water pollutant gets into the water through the extinguishing water. Operations manager Christian Hammer expressed concerns about possible environmental disasters that could be triggered by the fire and extinguishing water.

The situation on site is tense because the police and the fire brigade are present with a large number of emergency services. A total of around 65 firefighters from different municipalities such as goods, clink, large plastes and old Schwerin are in action. Pastor was also sent to the site to help the injured and shocked emergency services.

damage and investigations

The destruction by the fire is considerable: the restaurant's restaurant and the owner's apartment above were completely collapsed. There were five boats in the boat yard, which are also affected by the fire. The estimates of the damage amount to over two million euros. The Camerooner Weg was closed to traffic near the Röbeler Chaussee, while the cause of the cause of the fire must wait for their work. Investigators may only work if the fire site is no longer burning and is safe to walk. The exact cause of the outbreak of the fire remains unclear so far, and further information is still to be seen.
