Fire in Maxvorstadt: Flames are already shooting out of the window
The fire started on the ground floor of a five-story house and when emergency services arrived, flames were already shooting out of a window in the affected apartment.
At this point, all residents of the house had already escaped outside and were waiting for the fire brigade in front of the building.
A team with compressed air breathing apparatus and a C-jet tube was sent into the apartment by the incident commander to extinguish the fire.
A second team supported the extinguishing work from outside.
The fire was extinguished after a few minutes.
The building was cleared of smoke using a high-performance fan and all apartments above and next to the fire apartment were checked for damage.
