At around 3.15 a.m., a resident alerted the fire brigade after discovering the full fire of a residential container. As the SWR reports, the fire broke out in a container that burned down completely. However, the emergency services were able to prevent the flames from being overlooked to neighboring containers and preventing a larger catastrophe.

The fire brigade made a terrible discovery during the extinguishing work: a lifeless male person was found inside the burned -out container. It is currently unclear whether this is the resident reported there. The exact circumstances of the fire are still unclear, and the investigation into the cause is in full swing, reports the SWP . Fortunately, the other around 20 residents of the facility remained unharmed, but have to do without their accommodation for the time being.
