500,000 € Damage: Eight greenhouses burned in Wiesmoor

In Wiesmoor yesterday eight contiguous greenhouses from a 10,000 square meter production area was burned down. Highly flammable shading film gave plenty of burning material for the flames. The fire fighters were there until the early hours of the morning, the damage is estimated at half a million Euro.

About 70 task forces prevented the flames from travelling over to another 70,000 square feet of production space. According to information from the police of Aurich it is still unclear what caused the fire.

Flammable shading film took care of the rapid spread. The material melted due to the high temperatures and dripped on the floor. In doing so the interior including pallets, crates and trolleys with labour and packaging materials caught fire. For fire fighters it was difficult to access because of the burning and dripping plastic and the high amount of dangerously cracked glass due to the heat.
