Neustadt-Glewe (dpa/mv) – A fire in a huge straw warehouse led to major traffic restrictions in the Neustadt-Glewe (Ludwigslust-Parchim) region on Thursday. A police spokesman said the fire broke out around noon. The straw store, which is several hundred meters long, will hold around 20,000 bales.
In the surrounding area, among other things, the state road 071 between Neustadt-Glewe and Wöbbelin was blocked, and there were also obstructions to visibility on the Autobahn 14 due to thick smoke. The amount of damage and the cause of the fire are unclear. The extinguishing work would continue for a long time. In the afternoon, however, rain showers also moved over West Mecklenburg.
