Baden-Württemberg: Millions in damage after a fire in an apartment building

Offenburg (dpa / lsw) - After the fire in an apartment building in Offenburg, the police assume damage in the millions. All 14 apartments in the building are currently uninhabitable, the Bureau announced on Thursday. City employees made sure that the residents were accommodated. The cause of the fire was unclear even after an initial investigation by forensic scientists. An expert should clarify that.

Two people were slightly injured in the fire on Wednesday morning: A resident and a firefighter suffered smoke inhalation. Shortly thereafter, a man was checked at the train station in connection with the fire, as the police have now announced. "It is being checked whether he is connected to the outbreak of the fire and is the subject of ongoing criminal investigations."
