Malfunctioning Washer Ignites Basement Blaze on East Street in City Center
On Saturday afternoon, January 25th, a fire was reported in the basement of an apartment building on Oststraße in the city centre at around 2:50 PM.
The fire operation involved the professional fire brigade's Watches I (Centre) and III (Forest), along with the volunteer fire brigade's Unit 3. Upon arrival, light smoke was visible in the basement area.
Firefighters fought the fire while wearing breathing apparatuses. The fire was initially extinguished using a small fire extinguisher, and then removed to the outside.
The fire was a small fire in a laundry room, and after it was put out, ventilation measures and measurements were taken. The German Red Cross was also involved in the operation.
The residential building was immediately evacuated, and residents were allowed to return to their apartments after the fire was extinguished and safety measures were completed.
However, the cause of the fire in the laundry room remains unknown. It is worth noting that fires in apartment basements are often caused by electrical faults, heating equipment failures, or improper storage of flammable materials.
