A major fire today completely destroyed the sorting plant for lightweight packaging from the dual system in Dresden. As the disposal company Veolia reported on request, the fire broke out shortly after midnight for an unknown reason. The building is in danger of collapsing and the damage to property cannot yet be estimated. The Dresden fire brigade is on duty with around 100 people. There were several vehicles and machines in the hall. Within a very short time, the flames broke through the roof of the hall. "Several explosions could also be heard," said the fire department. The main goal of the emergency services is to prevent the spread to neighboring buildings.
