Cellar fire on Epiphany: Defective charger causes chaos!

On the Epiphany, it occurred in Stubenberg, Rottal-Inn district, a basement fire that was caused by a technical defect on a battery charger. The emergency call reached the integrated control center at 7:54 p.m., with the keyword "Kellerbrand - person in danger". The alarmed fire brigades from Stubenberg, Simbach, Oberham, Fürstberg and Erlach immediately moved out to the site in the street "Unter der Linde".

The emergency services found a very smoky basement on site, where a battery and the associated charger had caught fire. The fire could be quickly brought under control. Emergency services with respiratory protection brought the burning battery outdoors in order to ensure a safe "abreaction". Other objects that were affected by the sooty smoke were also carried outdoors. The property damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros. The basement and hallway of the house are heavily polluted by soot, and the homeowner who had inhaled vapors was medically examined as a precaution.
