Fire: High damage from “burning glass effect”

On March 10, 2022, a fire with high property damage broke out in a Franconian Callunen business. The gardening insurance currently estimates the amount of damage after an initial inspection on the following day at up to 250,000 euros. According to the police, the cause is probably a magnifying glass effect caused by solar radiation. Arson is excluded.
