We report in a BR24live from around 12 p.m.
Police assume millions in damage
According to police information, it is expected that a large proportion of the wooden buildings that caught fire will not be able to be saved. The damage is likely to be in the millions. There have been no reports of injuries or even fatalities so far. Since many visitors were staying overnight in the western town area at the time of the fire, the accommodation had to be evacuated by park employees.
The cause of the fire is still unclear
The cause of fire was unclear for the moment. According to a police spokeswoman, employees initially tried to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. But that didn’t work. According to previous findings, several wooden buildings such as saloons burned along the so-called Main Street.
