Saxony: Office building burns at car rental in Chemnitz

Chemnitz (dpa / sn) - At a car rental in Chemnitz, an office building burned during the night. No one was injured, police said. 21 residents of a neighboring apartment building were brought to safety because of the fire and heavy smoke and cared for in a public transport bus. However, firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading to the home. The fire in the district of Kappel broke out early Wednesday morning for an unknown reason. When the emergency services arrived, the flames had already hit the windows, it was said. Vehicles were therefore not damaged. No information has yet been given on the extent of the damage.
