Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: car park closed after fire: expert required

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - After the fire in a multi-storey car park belonging to a shopping center in Schwerin, the building is still closed for security reasons. As a police spokeswoman said on Monday, a structural engineer first had to clarify whether the multi-storey car park at Dreescher Markt is still safe and can be entered. Only then could a fire expert examine exactly how the car fire came about on Saturday.

The fire broke out around noon on Saturday. The cause is still unclear, the public prosecutor's office has used a fire expert to clarify.

First, a car had burned that had probably been in the underground car park for a long time. The flames spread to nearby cars and damaged walls and steel beams. A supermarket also had to be evacuated. The exact amount of damage is still unclear. Some residents had to rescue their vehicles themselves.
