Baden-Württemberg: High damage in the roof truss fire in Stuttgart

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - According to initial estimates, around 700,000 euros in damage was caused by a roof fire in Stuttgart. Rescue workers took the 93-year-old resident of the attic apartment to the hospital with smoke poisoning, a police spokesman said. The fire brigade could not prevent it from spreading to other parts of the house, so that other apartments were no longer habitable. According to the spokesman, two residents were accommodated in hotels. Falling parts also damaged parked cars in the fire early on Saturday morning. The investigation into the cause of the fire initially continued.
