Firefighters in Berlin are working to put out a fire that engulfed a metal processing plant of the Diehl Group, the industrial conglomerate producing IRIS-T air defense systems.

The plant called Diehl Metal Applications produces alloys, pipes and other steel products. Diehl Defense Chief Executive Officer Helmut Rauch visited Kiev in April and announced additional deliveries of IRIS-T SLM systems to Ukraine.

Four stories of the plant have been completely gutted by fire and a part of the building has collapsed, the Bild newspaper reported. The blaze also burned chemicals that were stored in the building, such as sulfuric acid and copper cyanide.
