There was a dramatic incident in Balingen on Christmas Eve that kept the fire brigade and police on tenterhooks. A 35-year-old man is suspected of setting fire in several rooms of their apartment on Etzelbachstrasse during an argument with his 36-year-old partner. According to initial reports, the Black Forest messenger published, the crime occurred around 12:30 p.m. After leaving the building, the accused was arrested by the police a short time later.

Fortunately, despite the fire, there were still people in the building, but no one was injured. The material damage caused is estimated at around 80,000 euros, according to partial reports Reutlingen Police Headquarters.
