Housing fire in Rostock: Tenant injured and the police investigated!

In the late evening of October 3, 2024, at around 10:00 p.m., an alarming apartment was reported in Rostock. The fire brigade received the emergency call through the fire protection rescue office after residents had noticed heavy smoke from a window of the 5th floor of an apartment building in Martin-Luther-King-Allee.

The Rostock professional fire brigade was quickly on site and was able to control the fire quickly. Thanks to their rapid reaction, a complete evacuation of the building was not necessary because some residents had already brought to safety independently.

Details of the incident

After initial investigations, the fire broke out in the living room of a 37-year-old Ukrainian tenant. This was able to go out of the apartment in time, but suffered injuries that made treatment in the hospital necessary. In the tenant, the suspicion of severe flue gas intoxication was expressed.

The fact that a breath alcohol test showed a value of 2.67 per thousand. This raises questions about his possible involvement in the incident. The apartment in which the fire broke out was confiscated by the police because it is no longer habitable.

The other tenants of the house were able to return to their apartments after the extinguishing work, and no further injured or serious damage within the building was reported. An exact amount of damage is currently and still unclear.

In the course of the investigation, the police initiated criminal proceedings for arson. The investigation into the exact cause of the fire is in progress and the public prosecutor will decide during the day whether a fire cause investigator will be consulted.

How the Situation goes out and whether the investigation will bring further knowledge remains to be seen, as www.presseportal.de reports .
