Balcony furniture burns in Bayreuth: children suspected of having firecrackers!

In a dramatic incident in Bayreuth, balcony furniture in an apartment building on Tirolerstrasse was set on fire on Thursday evening! At 8 p.m., an alert 43-year-old noticed that several children and young people were playing with firecrackers. Shortly afterwards, these dangerous games led to the balcony furniture in a neighboring apartment catching fire.

The brave neighbor acted quickly and immediately alerted the fire department. But before the emergency services arrived, he and another neighbor had already tried to put out the fire. The 43-year-old suffered a minor injury to his hand. The resulting property damage is estimated at around 500 euros - a high price for a careless game with fireworks!

Investigations are ongoing

The Bayreuth City police were quickly on site and met five boys between the ages of 13 and 15. Investigations are ongoing to find out whether this group is actually responsible for the fire. A dangerous joke that quickly got out of hand - the consequences could be far-reaching! The situation raises questions about the safety and responsible behavior of young people when handling fireworks.
