Fire devil strikes: Asylum home in Jahnsdorf in flames!

Jahnsdorf, Deutschland - Feuer-Drama in Jahnsdorf in the Ore Mountains: On Friday evening, a devastating fire sparked in an asylum accommodation and left a completely burned-out apartment block. The dramatic scenes took place in Wilhermsdorfer Straße when the fire brigade stood in front of a flame inferno. No resident was injured, but for the protection of the neighboring houses, the emergency services fought until late into the night.

The eight residents of the accommodation barely escaped fire death and found refuge in another facility. The weirs from Pfaffenhain, Jahnsdorf, Leukersdorf and other places fought heroically against the flames, such as Tag24 reported. A suspected arsonist was arrested on site, an Algerian who was slightly injured when he laid the fire.

devastating consequences and fast search success

The arrested suspect, a 30-year-old man, is suspected of having sparked the flames themselves, which led to the completely burning out of the block. Already on Saturday he was brought before an investigative judge in Chemnitz. The damage to property is currently still unclear, but the material loss and uninhabitability of the building testify to the destruction that the fire caused.

The investigation is in full swing. A fire cause investigator was already on site to shed light on the exact background of the fire. Further investigations will continue on Monday, such as mdr reported.
