Highest warning level – Huge poison cloud darkened downtown Hamburg

“Extraordinary, difficult mission” for fire brigade
“This is a really extraordinary, difficult operation,” said a fire department spokesman from the site. He assumed that the extinguishing work, in which around 220 emergency services were involved, would continue throughout the day. Only then can the police begin investigating the fire. Initially, the fire area might only be entered with breathing masks due to the heavy smoke development. Rothenburgsort is located to the east of the city center on the North Elbe and borders, among other things, on Hafencity.
