Devastating fire in asylum accommodation in Nördlingen – several injured. The affected facility, two exhibition halls on Nürnberger Strasse used to accommodate asylum seekers, was severely affected by the fire.

Extinguishing work is difficult due to the special design of the halls - the fire was able to spread quickly through the walls and roof. The exact cause of the fire is currently under investigation, according to a police spokesman. (By the way: Our Bavaria newsletter informs you about all the important stories from the Free State.)
