Apparently there is no longer any doubt that an explosion preceded the major fire on Ottobrunn Haselweg on Tuesday.

That is what the investigation on Wednesday revealed.

The resident of the house, who was previously missing, has appeared on the property.

He was injured and taken to the hospital by ambulance service.

Ottobrunn

- The response "fire off" reported the operations management at 4:59 pm.

For four more hours, the roof structure had to be removed and other hot spots extinguished.

The fire brigade will also be on site on Wednesday to support the police in their investigations.

Since yesterday, completely new findings have apparently emerged in the case of the bungalow fire on Haselweg in Ottobrunn.

Sudden fire development

The fire brigade and the police assume an explosion that resulted in a sudden fire development. This is what the structural engineer’s studies have shown. Head of operations Eduard Klas: We were already there after five minutes. ”At this point the entire bungalow was on fire. The fire threatened to spread to three neighboring buildings. The houses are built together in the form of a row house. The more than 150 emergency services, 66 alone from the Ottobrunn fire brigade, gave everything, according to the operations manager. You were only on the road with heavy respiratory protection. That alone is exhausting for the body. “But the girls and boys hunched over, opened roofs, and moved rubble to one side. We rarely have that that we are called to a mission,and there whole parts of the wall and window pieces are in the way and block us when we enter the inside of the house. Thank goodness everything went like clockwork and luckily all neighboring houses remained intact. "

Original building destroyed immediately

The ultimate goal was to keep the neighboring buildings. Because the original building was destroyed shortly after the explosion occurred. In addition, the population had to be warned because the smoke did not move upwards, but settled for kilometers in the village. For this reason, a cat warning had to be triggered, the disaster control sirens ran with the aim of the population closing their windows. The fire brigade has successfully completed all of its tasks. A search for injuries in the house on Tuesday was unsuccessful. New findings came to light on Wednesday. The police press officer could not say which at the time of the report. In the tool shed, six firefighters take care of the 40 breathing apparatus that were in use. Everything has to be tidied up again, including the one and a half kilometers of hose."Eduard Klas: It was a material battle."

Stadtwerke had cut the gas line

The fire brigade and the paramedics under the direction of the Johanniter took care of the supplies for the neighbors who could not go back to their homes. Since the Stadtwerke München had cut the gas supply as a precaution to prevent further explosions. It was also assumed that the pipe was damaged in the ground. The employees had to dig a hole in a wide section and cut the line. Some of the houses still do not have electricity a day after the explosion. An emergency structural engineer from THW checked the building security of the three neighboring houses. After it has been checked, the buildings are not in danger of collapsing, but rather habitable. Eduard Klas: “It just stinks a bit. After all, a major fire took place next to it.“Nevertheless, the residents are allowed to go back into their homes during the day.

The police found the resident of the house on the property on Wednesday.

It is not clear whether he has been here since yesterday or returned to the property after the fire.

In any case, the injured man had to be taken to the hospital.

No further background is known to date.
