Thanks to the “vigorous firefighting,” the approximately 45 emergency services from the Plaggenburg and Middels fire departments managed to quickly prevent the flames from spreading to the adjacent residential building. While extinguishing the fire, the firefighters discovered an e-bike and a gas bottle that had already been damaged by the flames. These could be quickly removed from the danger area. It took a good half an hour for the fire to be completely extinguished, and the emergency services managed to check the wooden structure and the transition to the roof for possible embers, reported nwzonline.de.

The residents had closed all windows and doors when leaving their house, which meant that only minimal smoke spread inside the building. After fighting the fire, they were able to return to their home with ventilation measures, while the carport, which was significantly damaged by the flames, was confiscated by the emergency services and the police. A firefighter was injured while extinguishing the fire and had to go to hospital temporarily, but was able to leave that evening.
