Bavaria: Two dead in a fire in an apartment building

Peißenberg (dpa / lby) - Two people died in a fire in an apartment building in Peißenberg (Weilheim-Schongau district). A spokesman for the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria South said on Sunday that explosion noises were probably caused by the fire gases. However, he emphasized with a view to corresponding media reports: "It was definitely a fire, the explosion is a bit exaggerated." It was initially unclear what exactly triggered the fire in the apartment on the second floor on Saturday evening and who the two dead are. "The investigation is ongoing." There should be more information later in the day.
