Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, major fire in Essen's Weststadt district. The ruins of the apartment block in Bargmannstrasse are not allowed to be entered due to the risk of collapse. The 35-kilo robot dog HERBIE is therefore tasked with inspecting the inside of the building using a 360-degree camera, a thermal imaging camera and a laser scanner. The new building from 2015 had modern fire doors. The fire affected 39 flats with around 100 tenants, Europe
