The danger of toxic smoke gases caused a nuisance smell. The city had asked people in the districts of Bieber, Bieber-Waldhof and Offenbach-Ost to close their windows and doors and turn off ventilation and air conditioning. In addition, the area should be avoided. The police have closed Bieberer Straße in both directions.
Just two weeks ago, a fire broke out in the warehouse of a recycling company in the east of Offenbach. As a result, the B43 had to be closed, among other things. The police estimate the damage there at around 300,000 euros.
