Multifamily Residence Fire Warning Device: Smoke Detector Unit

In the heart of Bottrop, a fire broke out in a multi-family home located on Schützenstrasse. The fire department received the call and promptly responded to the scene.

Upon arrival, the fire had been extinguished independently, thanks to the swift actions of the residents. However, one person from one of the apartments required attention from the rescue service. Fortunately, the treated individual did not need hospitalisation.

The fire department proceeded to check other apartments in the building to ensure everyone's safety. The smoke alarm, triggered at approximately 16:55, had alerted them to the situation.

The presumed cause of the fire was a flammable object left unattended on a hot stove. The staircase in the building was ventilated to clear any remaining smoke.

The Fire Department Bottrop would like to remind everyone of the importance of fire safety, particularly when cooking. Always ensure that flammable objects are kept away from heat sources and never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking.

The incident on Schützenstrasse serves as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the quick response of the fire department in such situations. The affected person is reported to be recovering well, and the multi-family home is being assessed for any necessary repairs.
