In an incident that occurred in the early morning, there was a fire in a residential building, triggered by defective gas heating. The fire brigade was alerted at 3 a.m. and quickly moved in to fight the fire and ensure the safety of the residents.

The fire in the Kanalstrasse, a quiet residential area, were used by several fire engines. The emergency services were able to control the fire quickly, but the entire building had to be evacuated. A total of 20 residents had to be brought to safety while the fire brigade worked. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the residents are shocked by the incident.

cause of the fire

The provisional investigations by the fire brigade indicate that gas heating, which was not properly maintained, was the cause of the fire. Gas heaters are widespread, but they can be dangerous if they are not waited regularly. "We strongly advise you to carry out maintenance regularly and to check the condition of the heaters," said a fire brigade spokesman. In these cases, security is the key to avoiding such incidents. This security measure is repeatedly emphasized by many experts, especially in the cold season.

The fire brigade remains on site to ensure that there are no more brand nests and the structure of the building does not hold any further dangers. A thorough investigation is also ordered to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident. The local population was affected and concerned about the dangers that can assume such heating. "That could have ended much worse," said a neighbor.

The residents were housed in a nearby community center during the operation, so that they did not have to avoid only after the incident. The city administration reacted quickly to ensure that the people concerned are not only safe, but also receive the support they need. Such support offers can be crucial to help people after a traumatic experience.

The authorities hope that those affected will be able to return to their apartments in the next few days. In view of the need to check the safety of the building structures and waiting for the heating, this incident will certainly lead to intensive discussions about the security standards in gas heating.
