Fire drama in Jahnsdorf: Asylum accommodation in flames, suspicious!

Jahnsdorf OT Pfaffenhain, Deutschland - In the picturesque Erzgebirge, the contemplative Friday evening was suddenly darkened by a shocking fire in an asylum accommodation in Jahnsdorf OT Pfaffenhain. The dramatic scenes took place on Wilhermsdorfer Straße, where a block of flats on the accommodation burned. Fortunately, all eight residents were able to get outdoors in good time before the situation escalated, as the police TAG24 announced. The firefighters from the surrounding places were quickly on site and just managed to prevent the flames from spreading to other buildings.

The fire brigade took the early hours of the morning, but the affected apartment block is now a sad relic - uninhabitable and burned out. Despite this bitter loss, the fate of the residents remained intact, they found shelter in another facility. While the flames raged, the source of the inferno was determined: a 30-year-old Algerier who was living in the accommodation is under urgent suspicion of having laid the fire.

The alleged perpetrator

Hard to believe what happened that night! The suspect, whose stay was to go out, was slightly injured and treated on site. The police in Chemnitz took the arrest of the man the same night.
