FW Stockach: Burning caravan on motorway

The Stockach fire brigade was alerted on 6 August 2026 at 3:30 p.m. to a vehicle fire on the motorway at the Stockach-West junction. On arrival, a caravan parked on the hard shoulder was fully engulfed in flames, with the fire spreading to the embankment and adjacent grass verge. The blaze was brought under control and extinguished within about 30 minutes; the caravan was completely burnt out. Two filled gas cylinders were recovered from the wreck and cooled as a precaution. The operation lasted about an hour and involved four fire engines.

According to locals, it is difficult to locate, as it is at the end of a hedge, with the Schweizerhof hotel serving as a landmark. Kilbel built the campsite single-handedly, and his main concern is a lack of visitors.
