Delivery van in Münchenstein explodes: Fire brigade saves situation!

in Münchenstein, Switzerland, there was a dramatic vehicle fire on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Shortly before 12.30 p.m., a delivery van on Bruderholzstraße got on fire while driving. Fortunately, no people were injured, but the vehicle was completely destroyed by the fire. The fire brigade was immediately alerted and found the vehicle in full fire when it arrived.

The cause of the fire is attributed to a technical defect, as the Cantonal Police Basel-Landschaft confirmed. In order to contain the fire and carry out the subsequent cleaning work, Bruderholzstraße had to be blocked in both directions. The traffic was redirected locally so as not to hinder the work of the fire brigade and the towing company, which removed the destroyed delivery van. According to reports from fireworld.at and bazonline.ch the accident site remained closed until the vehicle was completely eliminated.

The fast reactions of the fire brigade and the police prevent worse consequences, and it was ensured that the safety of road users was guaranteed on this busy day. While such incidents are rarely associated with personal injury, the increase in technical defects in vehicles remains an important topic for traffic safety in the region.
