Overview
- A house fire in Clausnitz on March 30 claimed the lives of two elderly residents, aged 84 and 86, due to an electrical defect.
- Emergency responders were mistakenly dispatched to Claußnitz, 60 kilometers away, because of a name confusion in the Regional Control Center's dispatch system.
- The error was corrected two minutes later after a second emergency call redirected responders to the correct location.
- The Regional Control Center is conducting an internal review to address systemic issues and prevent similar dispatch errors in the future.
- Police have not launched an investigation into the incident, raising questions about accountability and emergency response protocols.
