Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: expert assumes arson in the hospital

Ludwigslust (dpa/mv) - An expert assumes arson after the fire on Saturday in the hospital in Ludwigslust. There is no technical reason, so the criminal police are still investigating serious arson, the investigators said on Tuesday.

According to previous information, the fire in one of the buildings of the "Helene von Bülow" clinic spread from an unused area on the third floor and spread to other rooms and floors. 25 patients had to be evacuated because of the smoke gases. In addition, an 85-year-old was seriously injured in the course of extinguishing work in a traffic accident.
