Bad Mergentheim (dpa / lsw) – A fire in a parking garage in Bad Mergentheim (Main-Tauber district) caused damage of around 700,000 euros. According to police, the fire broke out in the engine compartment of a parked car on Friday afternoon. The reason for this was probably a technical defect. According to initial findings, no one was injured. Five other vehicles near the burning car and parts of the building were damaged by the intense heat.
The parking garage has been closed until further notice. A police spokesman said early on Saturday morning that it had to be checked whether the structure of the building had been damaged by the fire. However, vehicles that are still parked may be driven out.
