The fire brigade rescued a seven-year-old from a balcony in Augsburg with a turntable ladder. The child had escaped a fire in the kitchen. As the Augsburg fire brigade announced on Wednesday, residents had noticed the boy and dialed the emergency number. The child’s mother was reportedly not at home. Probably because of the siren and the blue light, she came to the apartment on Tuesday evening.
The mother and son were examined on site and taken to a clinic. It was initially unclear whether they were injured. According to the fire brigade, the fire was quickly extinguished. Further details such as the exact course of events and the cause of the fire were initially unknown.
