Tragic apartment fire in Falkensee: A body discovered!
On Friday night there was a devastating fire in a single-family home in Falkensee, Havelland district. While the fire department was on duty, a body was discovered in the building. Initial information suggests that the affected person lived in the house. The exact circumstances of the fire and the cause of death are currently unclear. The police have started an investigation to shed light on the matter and are hoping to find out more about the cause of the fire.
What is particularly tragic is that the discovery of the body occurred in an unusual place during the extinguishing work. There have been similar incidents in the area in recent years, such as a fire in an apartment building in February 2018 in which a 49-year-old man died. During this incident, witnesses noticed smoke coming from an apartment and despite immediate emergency measures, the man could no longer be helped. The fire was also investigated by the criminal police to determine the cause ReportNet24 reported.
Investigation into the cause of the fire
The current fire cause statistics from the public insurers' Institute for Loss Prevention and Loss Research show that around 2,000 fire cause investigations are carried out every year, which involve significant damage to buildings. The results of these surveys not only help with education, but could also play a key role in preventing future fires. Human error and electrical defects are common causes, while the increase in battery fires due to the increasing use of battery-powered devices is also contributing to traffic statistics. Those interested can find further information on the institute’s website: FeuerTrutz.
