Witten expresses... - Woman loses her life in flames, three more hurt in house blaze
Someone managed to escape by jumping from the first floor when the fire started. Once the fire department arrived at 1:27 am, they could already see flames shooting out of the roof and windows. Three people had managed to run outside and were tended to by the rescue team before being taken to the hospital. A woman was thought to be missing, so a team bravely ventured inside the burning building to find her. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead upon being brought outside.
Due to the massive flames, firefighters could only put out the fire from the outside. They used two aerial platforms to assist in extinguishing the blaze, as well as four more hoses handled by the rescue crews. Over 50 firefighters from Bommern, Hölzer, Mitte, and the professional fire department were involved in the operation. The rescue service provided four ambulances, a doctor's vehicle, a leading doctor, and an organizational leader. A chaplain was also called to the scene. The fire station was occupied by the teams from Rüdinghausen and Stockum.
The fire has now been put under control, but the cleanup process is expected to take until noon. The police department in Bochum has taken over the investigation.
