Three dead, one missing toddler after major fire in Solingen. Nine people taken to hospitals with serious injuries.

House was massively destroyed in the fire and the stairwell partially collapsed. To escape the flames, a man with a child in his arms and a woman jumped out of the building's windows. One person landed on a car roof even though the fire department had set up a jumping cushion. The city had assigned a bus to quickly accommodate uninjured residents. Emergency pastors are on duty.
