BESS Fire: 2 Firefighters Injured, Motorway Closed (Germany, last week). The fire continued for 10 hours, forcing the closure of a nearby A31 motorway due to heavy smoke. Residents were advised to keep windows and doors shut until the fire was fully extinguished. Unfortunately, it appears to follow a familiar pattern: firefighters opening doors, exposing themselves to heat, flames and potential deflagration. We are awaiting a detailed aftermath report to better understand what lessons can be learned from the incident. #fireengineering #BESS #firesafety #weneedtoimprove source: NDR
