Friedrich-Panzer-Weg

Shortly before midnight, there was a room fire in Friedrich-Panzer-Weg. An elderly lady placed her cloth chair too close to a heated fireplace and the chair caught fire. Despite the situation, the lady reacted correctly: she immediately alerted the fire brigade, a burning chair, non-flammable surface and immediately the house to wait for the fire brigade to wait for the fire brigade. Two firefighters with breathing apparatus and C-nozzle quickly put out the fire. The fire could not spread any further, but the heavy smoke development caused damage of around 10,000 euros in the semi-detached house. Nobody was injured during this operation.
