Overview

• Late Wednesday in Hamburg-Finkenwerder, carbon monoxide was detected in a residential building on Neßdeich and nine residents were evacuated.
• A 29-year-old resident reported dizziness, and firefighters’ warning devices signaled elevated carbon monoxide upon arrival.
• Four people, including a three-year-old child and the child's mother, were taken to hospital for observation with no life-threatening conditions reported.
• The fire brigade deployed 34 personnel, shut off the gas supply, conducted measurements, and ventilated the property.
• Residents were allowed to return after the building was cleared, and authorities cite a renovation-related blockage of the heating exhaust as the likely cause.
