More than 100 firefighters on Thursday battled a fire at an ammunitions dump in western Berlin, using water cannons and an army robot to try to contain the blaze that has triggered explosions and was still spreading, officials said.
The fire service set up a perimeter zone 1,000 metres from the centre of the fire, which it said had spread across 15,000 square metres of Grunewald, a forested area bordered by upscale villas and swimming lakes, as well as the sealed-off ammunitions dump.
"Everything is prepared at the borders of the perimeter. That is where we want to stop it," a spokesperson for the fire service told Reuters.
