on Sunday evening, March 2, 2025, broke out a violent fire in an industrial hall in Stalden, Switzerland. The alarmed cantonal police in Valais received an emergency call about the fire in the Lower Menstrasse at 9 p.m. and immediately mobilized the fire brigade of Stalden and support from Törbel, Visp and the Lonza.

Fortunately, there was no injuries in the incident, but for security reasons a person was evacuated, such as fireworld.at reported.

The emergency services were able to control the fire at 10 p.m. and set up a fire guard at night to prevent possible flaring. During the extinguishing work there were restrictions on road and rail traffic in the area. As a result, the public prosecutor's office has initiated an investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the outbreak, according to the message from policewallis.ch . The incident not only demanded the emergency services, but also raised questions about fire security in industrial areas.
