In the early hours of Tuesday, a large pile of electronic waste caught fire at the Nord Schrott recycling yard in Flensburg, Germany. The fire, which started shortly before midnight, involved an area approximately 50 by 30 meters, with the burning material stacked high. The fire produced dense smoke and occasional small explosions, prompting a major emergency response. Over 100 firefighters, some operating under heavy respiratory protection, battled the blaze, supported by large machinery such as excavators to dismantle the burning waste for better access. The fire caused significant smoke that drifted over the city due to unfavorable wind conditions, leading authorities to warn residents via warning apps to keep windows and doors closed. Despite extensive efforts, the fire was not fully extinguished by early Tuesday morning, and ongoing smoke and odor pollution was expected throughout the day. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and although pollutant levels were monitored, no immediate health risks have been reported. The incident highlights the dangers of burning electronic waste, which can lead to hazardous emissions and explosions.
