Fire in hall 5

Friday, 21.08.2020 one of our warehouses was hit by fire. Unfortunately, this 2,000 m² hall could not be saved and burned down completely. Due to the excellent performance of the fire department with the support of THW and police, it was possible to prevent the fire from spreading to the other warehouses and the administrative part behind them.

We would also like to mention the excellent catering for all emergency forces provided by the Red Cross. This enabled the emergency forces to tackle the firefighting operation with renewed strength and energy. Also worth mentioning is the commitment of the mayor and the public order department of the city of Isselburg. All the time we were informed factually correct and competent.

As the managing director of Isseltrans, I would like to express my sincere thanks, also on behalf of the employees, to all the emergency forces on site as well as from afar in extinguishing the fire. It was impressive to see how extremely competent and well organized everything was.

Dark clouds over the burned warehouse (approx. 2,000m2), but as can be seen, the sun was already trying to come through again on the left side in the evening of 22.08.

How now further:

Saturday, 22.08. a generator was set up for power supply. Thus we are with the entire office and with the rest of the halls again fully serviceable. Do you need storage space or transport? Contact us, we will take care of it.

A lot of things will still come up, also the cause research is still going on, but we try, however difficult it is, to look ahead.

As the employees have already written to me on Saturday, 22.08.2020: Arno, we will rebuild it together.

I am grateful for such staff as well as their dedication, support and comforting words.
