Bavaria: Roof structure on fire - gas tank in danger of explosion

Maxhütte-Haidhof (dpa / lby) - A roof fire in Maxhütte-Haidhof (Schwandorf district) caused six-figure damage - two people were injured. In addition to the extinguishing work, a gas tank had to be cooled on Sunday night, a police spokesman said. Accordingly, the tank located behind the house would otherwise have exploded due to the fire.

The residents - a 52-year-old and a 57-year-old - came to a hospital with smoke inhalation. The roof with a photovoltaic system burned down completely. The cause of the fire was initially unclear.
