Eight fire trucks from the safety region and four armored defense vehicles are currently fighting a fire in Limburg.

The fire broke out yesterday morning at a military training ground. A witness reported that an explosion occurred during military exercises, which subsequently caused a fire. The witness stated that the explosion was and led to the emergence of smoke and flames. The individual noted that the defense department's account of an explosive detonation aligns with the observed connection between the exercises and the fire. Firefighters have scaled down operations from 400 personnel yesterday to approximately 150 people currently on site. The situation is described as under control, though the fire is not yet fully contained.
