- Before the crew of the turntable ladder cage could reach the 51-year-old, the woman lost consciousness.

The emergency services pulled her into the basket as quickly as possible - and only seconds later the balcony was also on fire.

The person who was slightly injured due to the smoke was immediately treated by the emergency services and taken to a hospital.

The apartment door, which had burned through, was met by the respiratory protection team, which was attacking in parallel via the stairwell, on arrival.

The fire was pushed back with a C-pipe and it was prevented from spreading to other apartments.

The burning roof was partially opened to fight the fire.

The fire was out by 7:34 p.m.

A total of around 120 emergency services were on site for up to four and a half hours.

The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are still unknown, fire investigators are investigating.
