Fire in a multiple dwelling: Ten people have been injured in a fire in Gelsenkirchen, including seven seriously injured children, according to a fire department spokesman. Two more people are thus in mortal danger.
The building could no longer be entered, therefore one had requested height rescuers. The special forces are to search the house for Brandnestern and other persons. Missing, however, do not exist.
