Wernau (dpa) - A major fire in a hall on the premises of Bosch Thermotechnik in Wernau near Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg has caused millions of euros in damage.
The whole building burned when the emergency services arrived on Wednesday night, said a police spokesman.
At first there was no evidence of injuries - there were no people in the building at night.
The police assume damage in the millions.
Even early on Wednesday morning - about two hours after the fire department was alerted - the hall was still on fire.
The photos show how a thick cloud of smoke, illuminated by the flames, rises over the site.
According to a police spokesman, the water on site was running out.
A spokesman for the fire brigade said that a pipe had been laid from Necker, about a kilometer away, that the water supply was in place.
The cause of fire was unclear for the moment.
