Major fire in Pama triggers large-scale nighttime fire brigade operation

The scene was located near Zurndorf. The fire brigade first had to battle the large area fire. No further details were provided about foam, hazardous materials or the cause of the fire.

In addition to the actual firefighting operations, further logistical tasks also had to be carried out at the scene. These included establishing a water supply and securing the surrounding area. No detailed information is available on the vehicles and equipment deployed.

A pellet system is also mentioned in connection with the fire. However, the available facts do not clearly establish what relationship this system had to the seat of the fire or the affected business premises.

Following the large-scale nighttime operation, the fire brigade was still carrying out work in Pama on Tuesday morning. A check to determine whether all pockets of embers had been extinguished was part of the operation.

Another major operation on the following day

Only after completing this work was the fire brigade able to leave the scene for the time being. Further fire safety monitoring was then to be taken over by the competent authority. A preliminary assessment of the damage was not yet expected.

Another large-scale fire brigade operation took place in Pama on Tuesday. The renewed operation was connected to the major fire on the previous evening. During this second alerting, further overhaul and safety measures were still required at the scene.

The fire brigade’s repeated presence shows that the fire did not go without further consequences on the following day either. However, the available reports do not fully explain how the situation developed on the previous day and during the night of Tuesday.

Cause and extent of damage still unknown

There was initially no confirmed explanation for the cause of the major fire. An official determination of the cause of the fire had not been completed following the operation.
