Bonn-Brüser Hill - 13 people sustain injuries in an apartment blaze
Eight people were taken to hospitals in Bonn with minor to serious injuries. The building is currently unfit for habitation due to fire damage, and the police are investigating the cause of the fire.
Numerous emergency calls prompted the first responders to arrive at the scene, where they found an apartment on the first floor severely engulfed in flames. Confusion and drama led to more fire and rescue services being sent to Borsigallee.
Three breathing apparatus teams rescued residents through the smoke-filled hallway and fought the fire from the inside using a fire extinguisher. They used another extinguishing pipe to extinguish the flames coming out of a rear apartment to prevent the fire from spreading to the upper floors and balconies.
Five ambulances and two emergency doctors treated the injured at the scene, while the uninjured were provided with a public bus by Bonn's public utility company, accompanied by three emergency services.
Due to the damage caused by the fire, the building, which houses 14 apartments, is unable to be used for the time being. The city of Bonn and the police are assisting the residents in finding alternative accommodation. The criminal investigation department has already initiated an investigation into the fire's origin during the operation.
Around 55 firefighters, including those from the professional fire department, Duisdorf, Lengsdorf, and Lannesdorf volunteer fire departments, rescue and emergency medical services, emergency pastoral care, and the press service, were deployed in response. The Bonn-Mitte and Beuel volunteer fire departments staffed fire stations 1 and 2 during the operation.
