The town of Neunkirchen is mentioned. - Woman (66) pulled from burning apartment by fire department.

At 2:05 am, a woman was rescued from a burning apartment by the volunteer fire brigade in Neunkirchen. Fortunately, the other seven residents of the home avoided harm. However, since the fire had engulfed their living spaces, they couldn't reenter their apartments.

The firefighters treaded carefully as they engaged in firefighting and rescue operations. Located on the first floor, a 66-year-old woman was discovered and transported to safety outside. She was then transferred to a nearby hospital for medical attention by the ambulance service.

The initial response from the ambulance service boasted several ambulances, a doctor, and a command center. However, it eventually scaled down, leaving only one ambulance at the scene to ensure the safety of the firefighters.

The fire was subdued swiftly, extinguishing it with relative ease. However, extensive damage was done to the entire multi-story building, prompting the municipal energy supplier to cut off power and gas connections.

Thomas Hans, the second deputy mayor, reached out to assist the displaced residents in securing temporary lodging. Thankfully, all eight individuals managed to find shelter with family or friends. The volunteer fire brigade remained at the scene, overseeing a team of approximately 40 firefighters, until around 4:30 am. Police divisions took over the responsibility of determining the fire's origin that night.
