More than 100 people had to leave their homes because of a fire on the balcony of a high-rise building in Munich. A 63-year-old woman suffered burns while trying to extinguish the fire, the fire department said on Sunday.
The emergency services took her and her husband to a clinic. The fire department was able to quickly extinguish the fire on Saturday evening. The police have opened an investigation into the cause of fire.
The fire on the eighth floor could have spread to the other floors, according to the fire department. As a precaution, the entire high-rise building was evacuated. When the fire was extinguished, all residents were able to return to their apartments.
