Villingen-Schwenningen (dpa/lsw) - Because she turned on the wrong stove, a woman in the Black Forest-Baar district started a fire in her kitchen. According to the police on Friday, she accidentally chose not the plate with a pot of water for a baby bottle - but the one on which a napkin and a plastic toy were lying. Then she went into the basement while thick smoke spread above and set off the smoke alarm.
Neighbors heard this and called the fire department. By the time she reached the house in Villingen-Schwenningen, the 35-year-old had extinguished the small fire. She contracted mild smoke inhalation. Nothing was initially known about the whereabouts of the baby.
