Woman jumps from the second floor: dramatic rescue from flames in Lübeck!

On Thursday afternoon it came in Lübeck-St. Lorenz for a dramatic incident. A woman jumped out of the window of the second floor of an apartment building to save herself from the flames that had broken out in the attic. According to mopo , the woman survived the fall, but suffered serious injuries, including fire breaks and presumably broken bones. A man who was on the ground floor had to be treated due to flue gas poisoning.

The fire was reported around 1:40 p.m. after several emergency calls were received by the fire brigade and the police. The first emergency services arrived at the Schützenstraße after only four minutes, but found a top floor that was already "in full fire", such as Stern reported. The fire brigade and police were used with a large contingent to combat the fire and stabilize the situation. The affected area was cordoned off to ensure the safety of the residents.

Unclear cause of the fire and injury details

No information on the cause of the fire is available up to the present time. Details about possible further injuries are not yet known. The injured woman is suspected as a resident of the attic apartment. The location is tense and the investigation to clarify the circumstances of the fire is ongoing while the fire brigade remains in use.

This incident again makes a highlight of the importance of fire protection measures, as described on the website of Feuertrutz . According to statistics, the prevention of fire events in Germany is a continuing challenge that could be improved by extensive and regular monitoring of fire protection measures. Such tragedies could possibly be avoided if effective fire protection systems and precautions are available in buildings.

The exact circumstances of today's fire and the full balance of the injured are expected in the coming days, while the authorities continue to take all necessary steps to ensure public security.
