Massive fire in Lüneburg district: over 500,000 euros damage!

In the early morning hours of October 9, 2024, in Lüneburg, more precisely in the Lüner Weg, there was an important fire on the site of a food producer. The incident was noticed at around 01:40 a.m. by the company's security service, which immediately informed the fire brigade and rescue control center.

First emergency services that were quickly on site, discovered the fire behind a closed roller door in the area of delivery. In this area there were not only a garbage press, but also boxes and wooden pallets that were stored there. Thanks to the quick intervention of the Lüneburg fire brigade, the fire was quickly brought under control and accompanied. Parallel measures to ventilate the affected building and the adjacent warehouses were also taken.

The effects of the fire

As already mentioned, the fire raged in part of the company that is central to food storage and production. The risk of falling was so great that food production had to be temporarily stopped. In addition, the fire also has several floors above the delivery and an adjacent cooling room, which also complicates the location. The current property damage is estimated at least 500,000 euros, which is considerable financial pressure in view of the type of company.

Investigations into the cause of the fire

The authorities have meanwhile initiated the investigation into the cause of the fire. So far, neither technical disorders nor negligent arson can be excluded. This uncertainty raises questions about how a fire could occur in such a sensitive area of a food operation. The exact cause will be crucial to avoid future incidents and to adapt the safety protocols.

The Situation remains tense because those responsible for the company and the investigators work closely together to clarify the exact circumstances. In the meantime, the restoration of the operating processes and minimizing the financial damage is of the highest priority.
