Emergency: Department Store Engulfed in Flames Due to Fire Extinguisher Mishap - Fire Breaks Out in Department Store Due to Aerosol Release
In a recent development, an incident involving a gas smell was reported at a shopping mall in Würzburg, Lower Franconia. The local fire department in Würzburg was alerted, but no further action was required, as the gas smell was later determined to be from a fart spray.
The police were also involved in the incident due to initial concerns about a hazardous substance. However, measurements taken could not detect any hazardous substance in the shopping mall. Four people complained of discomfort and coughing due to the incident, but no injuries or damage were reported.
Witnesses are urged to contact the police, and investigations for dangerous bodily harm are underway. It is important to note that the identity of the individuals involved in the incident is not being disclosed, as per standard procedures in Germany to protect the personal rights of those under investigation.
In an unrelated incident, a 49-year-old man from Marktbreit was arrested in the summer of 2021 for selling a "fart spray" as a fake COVID-19 test. According to media reports, such as the MainPost, the man was actively involved at the scene. His name, however, has not been made public, as is customary in Germany to protect the rights of the accused before a verdict or in cases where special reasons (such as in the case of fleeing suspects) dictate otherwise.
For any specific information inquiries, you can reach out to the press office of the Würzburg Police Inspection. The shopping mall incident serves as a reminder to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
