Overview
- Firefighters are battling a full blaze at a long-empty restaurant site in the Haspe district of Hagen.
- Authorities issued a warning through Germany’s NINA app, which alerts locals to hazards like smoke and urges simple safety steps.
- Police and the fire brigade shut the B7 in both directions near the scene, and drivers are being routed around the area.
- Officials have not yet determined the cause of the fire, and it is not known if anyone was injured.
- The building has stood vacant for years as a so‑called “Lost Place,” a status that can attract trespassers and complicate firefighting access.
