Officials in Hamm, Germany, are investigating a large fire at the Kraftwerk Hamm coal-fired power plant that injured several people and caused significant damage.

The fire broke out in the plant's cooling tower on Monday afternoon and quickly spread to other parts of the facility. Firefighters battled the blaze for several hours before bringing it under control.

Several people were injured in the fire and taken to local hospitals for treatment. The extent of their injuries is not yet known.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, but officials say it may have started in the cooling tower's electrical system.

The Kraftwerk Hamm coal-fired power plant is one of the largest in Germany. It provides electricity to the surrounding area and is a major employer in the region.

The fire is a major setback for the plant and could have a significant impact on the local economy.

Firefighters are still working to extinguish the fire and assess the damage. The plant is expected to be closed for repairs for several months.

The fire is a reminder of the dangers of coal-fired power plants. Coal is a dirty and dangerous fuel that contributes to air pollution and climate change.
