Bochum (dpa / lnw) - A resident was rescued with minor injuries from a nighttime fire in an apartment building in Bochum. The other people were able to get themselves to safety, as a fire department spokesman said on Friday. You could get some small animals from the two-storey house. The resident was taken to the hospital with smoke inhalation.

The fire started in an apartment on the first floor for an unknown reason. When the fire brigade arrived, the apartment had already caught fire. The operation was over in the morning, but the place had to be checked further because of possible embers. The "Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" had also reported.
