Apartment fire at Johannisplatz results in tenant's injury during fire suppression efforts
A fire broke out in a top-floor apartment at Johannisplatz in Leipzig on Monday evening, resulting in injuries to two people. The fire department was alerted around 8 pm due to thick smoke billowing from a window.
Upon arrival, the fire department found the apartment ablaze. The cause of the fire remains unknown, and the responsible authority for investigating the cause is the Leipzig fire department's fire investigation unit.
The fire department reported that a 29-year-old was present in the apartment during the fire, while the 30-year-old tenant returned just before they arrived. Both individuals suffered from smoke inhalation.
The fire in the apartment was so intense that the apartment is no longer habitable. The fire department acted swiftly to extinguish the blaze, and no further incidents were reported.
The Leipzig fire department has not yet released any further details about the incident, but they assure the public that they are working diligently to determine the cause of the fire and to support the affected individuals in their recovery.
