Fire in Sindelfingen Kaufland: Minivan burns in the underground car park!

A dramatic incident shook the Kaufland shopping center in Sindelfingen on Monday evening! A fire broke out in the underground parking garage around 5:20 p.m. when a minivan burst into flames in the engine compartment. The exact cause is still unclear, but the fire department was quickly on site to prevent anything worse from happening. The heavy smoke not only caused a stir, but also led to the immediate closure of the shopping center and Calwer Strasse.

The fire brigade mobilized a large contingent, including the entire fire brigade, special emergency vehicles and the Mercedes-Benz factory fire brigade. Thanks to the quick intervention, the fire was quickly extinguished and the shopping center was accessible again after about an hour. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the closure caused significant traffic delays and congestion in the area.
