Cargo fire in Lingen
On Aug 12, 2018, the fire rescue in Lingen was alerted to a fire on the "Janna", 930 ts (EU-No.: 02312964), in the new port on the Dortmund-Ems-Canal. The barge had loaded sugar beet pellets which were apparently inflamed by the hot exhaust pipe of a generator. After first firefighting efforts of the crew the fire brigade took over after the alert at 6:38 p.m. They attended the fire with five engines and 20 men. They removed the smoldering pellets and disposed them overboard with shovels. The German Lifesaving Society, which had also been alerted, did not have to intervene.
