A fire was reported in the underground garage at Wedel station on Saturday morning at approximately 09:30. The incident was confirmed upon arrival by incident commander Jens Benoelken, prompting the alarm level to be raised to FEU 3 Y.

Residents were asked to keep windows and doors closed as a precaution, and a public warning was issued via warning apps due to the heavy smoke. The fire department in Holm was called in for support, and several teams in heavy breathing apparatus entered the heavily smoked garage and quickly extinguished the fire with two C-hoses.
