A house fire in the eastern part of Neubrandenburg on Sunday caused significant property damage of around 30,000 euros. The incident occurred in an apartment building on Einsteinstrasse. At around 11:15 a.m. a smoke detector sounded the alarm in the affected apartment. Residents reacted quickly and alerted the Neubrandenburg fire department.
Criminal investigators are tasked with determining the cause of the fire
When they arrived, the emergency services found the apartment on the first floor empty, but there was already heavy smoke. To ensure the safety of residents, neighboring apartments also had to be opened and ventilated.
What is special is that this is the second fire in a very short time in the same apartment. That’s why the criminal investigation service was called in to determine the cause of the fire.
An incident occurred during the extinguishing work: a resident of the house disturbed the emergency services because he really wanted to go to his apartment. Because of the dangerous situation, the firefighters held the man back, which led to verbal arguments. The man is said to have insulted the emergency services. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
