Countless emergency calls were received by the state fire brigade command in the evening: full fire in the center of Ulrichsberg.

16 fire brigades are deployed, including comrades from Breitenberg in Bavaria. “We are in a heavy operation,” was the first brief information from the commander of the Ulrichsberg volunteer fire brigade. New details are now known. A fire brigade from the Czech Republic is also helping with the extinguishing work.
People should save water
The construction of feeder lines began immediately. Protecting the neighboring buildings had top priority during the initial extinguishing work. In order to secure the continuous extinguishing work, some farmers were organized with their liquid manure barrels to transport extinguishing water towards the fire object. The population was asked not to use water because it is needed to extinguish the fire, local residents said.
A particular challenge was extinguishing the extensive fire and at the same time evacuating the 35 cattle in the barn. About 250 firefighters are on duty.
