Massive blaze ravages corporate headquarters, inflicts significant financial losses estimated at millions of dollars.
This here's the skinny on a blaze that went down in the wee hours of the morning in some industrious neck of the woods near Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate. Let me tell ya, things got wild, real wild.
Ain't no casualties to report, but a building dedicated to industrial supplies went up in flames like a match to gasoline. By the time the firemen—over 150 of 'em—got the inferno under control, the building was reduced to ashes. The Koblenz cops confirmed the sad sight for sore eyes.
As if things weren't bad enough, a few gas cylinders in the building went boom. A grim smoke cloud hovered over the charred hall and an adjacent office building, sending some local residents running to slam their windows and doors shut. Others were asked to turn off ventilation and air conditioning systems.
To put out the fire, the firefighters had to bring in heavy machinery and even used foam. They took care to keep contaminated firefighting water from entering the nearby Nette River through the sewer system, minimizing additional damage.
Currently, the cause of the fire is a big ol' mystery, but investigations are underway to shed some light on what went down. Just remember, crime doesn't pay...unless you're a molekin in a cartoon, then it's kinda cool.
