Overview
- In a multi-family building on Stauffenbergallee in Dresden’s Albertstadt, a fire broke out in a fourth-floor apartment on Wednesday evening.
- The tenant escaped on his own with burn injuries and was taken to a hospital, while two other residents were evacuated unharmed.
- Around 50 firefighters attacked the blaze from inside and with a ladder truck, stopping it from spreading to other flats.
- The fourth and fifth floors were left temporarily uninhabitable due to heavy soot, and crews continued ventilation and overhaul to rule out hidden hotspots.
- Police launched an inquiry into the origin of the fire, and traffic was disrupted on Stauffenbergallee near the Waldschlösschen Tunnel during the response.
