Overview
- A fire broke out in the basement of a multi‑family building on Gärtnerstraße in northern Nuremberg, and strong smoke filled the structure early Sunday morning.
- Firefighters brought the blaze under control and used an aerial ladder to rescue residents who had fled onto balconies.
- Emergency services treated eleven people for smoke inhalation or circulatory problems and transported them for medical care.
- Police have sealed the cellar and handed the scene to the Fachkommissariat of the Nuremberg criminal police, with the cause of the fire still under investigation.
- Residents remain temporarily unable to re-enter their homes and officials said the number of affected people could change because smoke-related health complaints can emerge after a delay.
