North Rhine-Westphalia: Fire at the recycling center leads to large-scale use

Cologne (dpa / lnw) - In Cologne, a fire on the premises of a recycling company led to a large-scale operation. As the fire brigade announced on Tuesday night, a fire broke out in a warehouse for an unknown reason. Nobody got hurt. Firefighters were initially able to bring the flames under control. A little later the fire flared up again. The post-extinguishing work continued in the early morning. The extent of the damage could not yet be quantified. In the meantime, the fire brigade had asked residents to keep windows and doors closed and to switch off air conditioning and ventilation systems because of the heavy smoke development.
