A subsequent vehicle with soldiers from the Federal Army also stopped to get involved. They tried to extinguish the fire, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The fire brigade, which quickly hurried to the site, was able to quickly control the fire and prevent major damage.

In the course of the investigation, a district brander investigator found that the cause of the fire was to be found in a defective brake system of the truck trailer.

The comprehensive reactions of the emergency services and the immediate clarification of the cause of the fire prove to be essential to prevent similar incidents in the future. It remains to be seen which measures will be taken after this incident to ensure security on the streets, especially with regard to vehicle maintenance and the condition of technical facilities.
