Braunschweig (dpa / lni) - Ten vehicles and a trailer went up in flames on the premises of the state registration authority in Braunschweig.

People were not harmed in the fire, as the fire department announced on Saturday.

The vehicles that were parked in a parking lot burned down completely on Saturday night.

Since the cars were parked away from adjacent buildings, there was no risk of the flames spreading, according to the fire department.

The fire brigade was deployed with almost 50 men.

The police confirmed the fire, but could not provide any details at first.

Why the fire started was initially unclear.
