Baden-Württemberg: deflagration in the apartment: woman injured, high damage

Asperg (dpa / lsw) - Due to a deflagration, an apartment in an apartment building burned out in Asperg (Ludwigsburg district). A 55-year-old resident was injured on Saturday, police said. According to the information, there was damage of 180,000 euros. According to the police, medical oxygen leaked from an oxygen cylinder for an unknown reason - the woman was dependent on an oxygen device. This immediately ignited into a deflagration, and the apartment in the basement was fully engulfed in flames.

The 55-year-old and four other residents of the house were able to leave the building on their own. The woman was taken to a hospital. The other residents were unharmed. According to the information, the fire brigade was deployed with 11 vehicles and around 50 forces.
