Fire devil in Kaiserslautern: Keller burns twice!

On Saturday evening, two basement fires broke out in Kaiserslautern, and the police suspected that it could be arson. The first incident occurred shortly after 7:30 p.m. in an apartment building in Asternweg, an area that is described by residents as a focal area.

The fire brigade was informed by attentive residents and was able to quickly extinguish the fire. Although damage has occurred, these are within the framework, since the police speak of a total of less than 20,000 euros.

second fire shortly after midnight

just a few hours later, around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday night, the fire brigade was alerted again. This time the basement burned in the neighboring neighbor. Here, too, the fire brigade was able to intervene quickly and extinguish the fire, whereby the property damage also remained limited. However, there were minor injuries in both fires, since a resident suffered flue gas poisoning.

ambiguity of access and possible perpetrators

The criminal police are now examining the fires more closely because there are signs of intentional arson. A police spokesman also explained that it could not yet be clarified how the alleged perpetrators got into the buildings. Unfortunately, it is common in the residential area that the front doors are often open, which could make access easier.

The situation in Kaiserslautern remains tense, and while the fire investigators are working on solutions, there are increasing questions about security in residential areas with such problems. Further information on this incident is currently being compiled in a structured manner and are to be expected in the next reports, as reports www.swr.de .
