Around 45 firefighters rushed to the scene, working tirelessly to secure the area. The operation's still ongoing, so keep your eyes peeled for updates. Rest assured, BioNTech is handling things properly, following safety protocols and evacuating the building as necessary.
So, there you have it. A leaky container, a heroic fire department, and a healthcare giant keeping their cool under pressure. Keep an eye on the news for more updates on this developing situation, folks. Stay safe!
