A couple was injured in a fire in their apartment in Essen. The 62-year-old woman suffered severe burns and came to a clinic by rescue helicopter, the fire department announced. A driver had noticed smoke on Sunday morning that was coming from the apartment on the top floor of the apartment building.
He alerted rescue workers and went into the house himself to rescue people. He met the 68-year-old resident and led him outside, as it was said. He also came to the hospital.
A little later, fire fighters also took out the seriously injured woman wearing respiratory protection and rescued a family dog. Another dog and two birds perished. The other residents of the house had managed to get themselves to safety. The cause of fire was unclear for the moment.
