A dense cloud of smoke has risen above a burning hall with electronic waste in Aachen. She was also seen outside the city. The fire in the several thousand square meter hall had developed rapidly, said the city.
The fire department has indeed the fight against the fire under control, it was said. One problem is the strong smoke. The fire brigade cleared some surrounding residential buildings. Residents of several neighborhoods were asked to close windows and doors and not be outdoors.
Whether people were injured, is not yet known.
