A major fire in the port of Kelheim/Saal on the Danube caused 1,5 million euros in damage. Three warehouses with tires went up in flames on the afternoon of September 02.09.2016nd, XNUMX when a man tried to fill the petrol tank of his motorcycle with a can right in front of an open door. A deflagration set the canister on fire, which then flew into the hall and ignited the tires there. The man suffered minor burns. Due to heavy smoke development, the police headquarters in Straubing initiated a danger report to the media. The extinguishing work lasted until late in the evening, but could not prevent two of the three halls from being severely damaged. Officials from the Landshut Criminal Service were still on the spot to investigate.
