Greater fire in Tangermünde: residents evacuated, cause unclear!

last night there were dramatic fires in several apartment buildings, which not only put the fire brigade on alert, but also led to evacuations by residents. The emergency services were immediately on site to prevent worse.

on Saturday evening, more precisely around 10:50 p.m., a resident in Tangermünde (district of Stendal) noticed smoke from the basement of his house. The alarmed fire brigade quickly moved out to Robert-Schumann-Straße and found a fire in the basement. The emergency services showed a good hand and were able to quickly control the fire, so that further spread of the fire was prevented. Fortunately, all residents could be evacuated as a precaution, but were allowed to return to their apartments after the extinguishing work was completed. The property damage amounts to an upper four -digit amount, the cause of the fire is currently still unclear. Further investigations are already underway, such as [tag24.de] (https://www.tag24.de/thema/feuerwehr Einze-heute/feuer-in- Mehrfamilienhaus-bummerwerden-evakier-3403298) reported.

another cellar fire in Nuremberg

Just a few hours later, a basement fire occurred in Nuremberg that presented the fire brigade with a major challenge. At around 0.50 a.m., emergency calls were received by the integrated control center, which immediately alerted the fire brigade. When they arrived, the emergency services found a strong smoke development. They immediately started fighting the fire. The police were also on site and locked the surrounding streets.

The fire brigade, supported by the weirs from Nuremberg and Katzwang, quickly had the fire under control, but two people had to be cared for on site due to breathing difficulties. The fire damaged important supply lines of the building, so that it is now considered uninhabitable. Around 30 residents had to be temporarily evacuated. The medical operations management had temporary accommodations organized for 15 evacuated persons. The estimated property damage amounts to several ten thousand euros, and here too the police are investigating the unknown cause of the fire, as the report of [nordbayern.de] (https://www.nordbayern.de/nuernberg/polizeibericht/feuer-in- Mehrfamilienhaus-in-nurnberg-bänger-vakuier-werden-baude-unbhaben-1.14756881) shows.
