Borna (dpa / sn) - A fire on an old factory site in Borna caused great damage. A dilapidated building caught fire on Wednesday morning, a police spokeswoman said. Ceilings collapsed and the building was severely damaged. Because it is considered to be in danger of collapsing, the extinguishing work was said to be very difficult. The fire caused a cloud of smoke to spread towards the city. The fire brigade therefore warned the population via the MoWaS warning system, as the police further announced. The total damage was still unclear on Wednesday.
The police are investigating on suspicion of a fire crime. An expert was to determine the cause of the fire on Wednesday.
