According to the police, several callers had reported heavy smoke in the Berg-am-Laim district.

The information provided by the callers was confirmed on site, and there was heavy smoke coming from a house.
According to the information, firefighters then rescued six people from the windows of their apartments.
Meanwhile, several teams were busy fighting the fire in the building.
Several people also had to be examined by an emergency doctor because of suspected smoke gas intoxication.
The source of the fire ultimately turned out to be a pram in the basement of the stairwell.
It is not yet clear why this caught fire.
The only thing that is certain is that there was probably very high property damage due to the heavy smoke development.
The fire department also reported on the incident on Twitter.
