Giessen / Fulda - Nobody was injured in the fire.
In Dietzhölztal, also in the Lahn-Dill district, three other houses burned on Saturday evening, according to police reports.

None of the seven residents were injured.
The third house was empty.
The police estimate the damage at around 350,000 euros.
Also in Lauterbach-Wallenrod (Vogelsbergkreis) a house was in flames on Saturday evening.
According to the police, there was a fire in both parts of the ground floor and the upper floor.
