Fire in Lübeck apartment building: two injured and large extinguishing action!

In a dramatic incident, a devastating fire broke out in an apartment building in the St. Lorenz Süd district of Lübeck in the early afternoon of May 29. The fire brigade and police were alerted around 1:40 p.m. after witnesses reported a blazing fire in the roof structure of the two -storey building.

The adjacent houses were evacuated and many affected residents were temporarily accommodated by relatives.
