Essen fire brigade: Keep windows and doors closed
There is currently a major fire in Kray. The fire brigade does not yet have much information, but assumes that a warehouse is on fire in Kray. Apparently it belongs to a furniture store there. The situation is still unclear at the moment, a large cloud of black smoke is drifting over the city. The fire brigade is therefore currently advising to keep windows and doors closed throughout the city and, if possible, to switch off the air conditioning. She also asks that you no longer dial the emergency number 112 to report the fire so that the lines remain free for other uses.
