Baden-Württemberg: Around half a million euros in damage after a house fire

Lörrach (dpa / lsw) - A fire in a house in Lörrach caused damage of around half a million euros. According to the police, the fire broke out in the attic on Wednesday. A resident, the only one in the house at the time of the fire on Tuesday afternoon, had previously tried in vain to extinguish the fire. The fire brigade managed to bring the flames under control with around 60 firefighters. An adjacent barn building burned down. Fire and extinguishing water caused so much damage that the house is no longer habitable. The cause of the fire is still unclear, according to the information.
