Overview
- The taxi, a Mercedes diesel sedan parked on Werinherstraße in Munich, caught fire in the engine compartment and burned out.
- Fire crews spotted the blaze while driving past, tried a handheld extinguisher, and then called in a full engine when the flames kept growing.
- Firefighters wearing breathing gear used a rapid-attack hose line—pre-connected for quick deployment—and foam to knock down remaining hot spots.
- No one was hurt, and a nearby building was checked for smoke to ensure residents were safe.
- Fire officials say they have no information on what started the fire, and police are now investigating.
