Man Injured in Distillery Fire - Fire Devastates Spirits Distillery, Injures 75-Year-Old Man
A fire has devastated a spirits distillery in Lehrensteinsfeld, causing significant damage. A 75-year-old man was slightly injured while trying to extinguish the blaze. Initial investigations suggest lithium-ion batteries may be involved.
The distillery had been closed for several months before the fire. The operator is believed to be linked to Spirits Distillery Lehrensteinsfeld. The incident began with loud, explosion-like noises, which firefighters later linked to lithium-ion batteries. The cause of the fire is still unclear, but police have ruled out arson.
The man, along with his daughter, heard the noises before the fire started. Despite his brave attempt, he sustained minor injuries. Firefighters swiftly controlled the fire, preventing further spread.
The estimated damage from the fire ranges between €50,000 and €100,000. Further investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire and its relation to the lithium-ion batteries.
