A fire broke out at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin’s recycling plant in the early hours of the morning, and now a local group that has been fighting the project is using the fire to call for stopping production.
In the early hours of the morning, Tesla’s own fire brigade at Gigafactory Berlin called the local fire department of the municipality of Grünheide, where the factory is located, for help.
According to a report from Märkische Oderzeitung, a local newspaper, a large pile of cardboard and wood caught on fire at the recycling facility located at the factory (translated from German):
A fire broke out on Monday night on the premises of Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide. The fire brigades of the municipality of Grünheide were called at 3.33 a.m. by the Tesla plant fire brigade. A pile of cardboard is said to have burned on the site. According to information from the Oderland regional office, several fire brigades from the municipality of Grünheide and the turntable ladder from Erkner were used.
Eight hundred cubic meters of paper, cardboard, and wood reportedly caught on fire – resulting in significant flames being spotted at the factory.

We want to ban production of gas and diesel cars!

“Not the batteries this time.”
Perhaps it didn’t start at the batteries...
Anyway, this is a battery recycling plant - and now they’re just ‘speeding up’ the process.
Environmental groups....been against it since day one, wanting a ‘pay-off’ to let it function. Just about everyone in this community wants it built....only time anyone has shown interest in 30 years to build a plant from scratch from old ‘DDR’.
Oh ja, it's not like they torched the place or something.
You vill take ze trains. And you vill eat ze bugs.
Arson?
Is that a green fire? No CO2 was released? No carbon footprint? lol
“A fire broke out at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin; locals call for production stop (Germany)”
They got that backwards -
locals call for production stop (Germany); A fire broke out at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin
There, fixed it.
All those batteries, and it's a wood and paper fire.
Go figure.
Fire needs fuel, oxygen and an ignition source.
I bet the ignition source came from a “Union” of a number of sources.
“Eight hundred cubic meters of paper, cardboard, and wood”
Wow, that’s a solid cube 31 feet x 31 feet x 31 feet. Don’t they ever recycle or send material to the dump? That doesn’t seem like very good fire protection practice.
I hope they build their batteries better than they manage their combustible waste. Oh, wait a second there...
All those batteries, and it's a wood and paper fire.Sounds more like they were recycling wood and cardboard.Go figure.
CARDBOARD PAPER WOOD
They’re going to need the burning batteries to stay warm this winter
2nd plant fire, 1 in USA.
This happens daily somewhere at homeless encampments, full of cardboard, wood and paper trash. The greenies should push to ban homeless encampments if they care about the environment (but they don’t).
CARDBOARD PAPER WOOD”
Were the firefighters on strike?
