Bavaria: Several barns burned down: hundreds of thousands of euros in damage

Weigenheim (dpa / lby) - Several neighboring barns burned down in Middle Franconia on Sunday night. There were no injuries in the fire in Weigenheim (Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district), the police said on Sunday. Investigators estimated the damage to be in the "mid-six-figure amount." Around 160 firefighters were deployed to extinguish the fire in a total of five buildings.

The fire spread because of the enormous heat and flying sparks, the police said. The cause of the fire was initially unclear. The Kripo Ansbach took over the investigation.
