Overview
- In Dresden-Neustadt, several waste and container fires broke out between about 00:55 and 02:25 at Louisenstraße/Görlitzer Straße, Seifhennersdorfer Straße, and Bischofsweg by Alaunpark, with a further small blaze reported on Löwenstraße in the morning.
- Dresden authorities are treating the overnight series as suspected arson, with police now investigating after crews extinguished the fires without injuries or major damage.
- Berlin firefighters handled two separate cellar fires within roughly 24 hours, first at Marienfelder Allee around 13:00 and later at Albrechtstraße in Steglitz shortly after 19:00.
- The Berlin incidents involved combustible stored materials, with crews using hoses and positive-pressure ventilation; 22 personnel attended the first call and 15 residents were evacuated and cared for during the second.
- Police in both cities have opened investigations as clustered small urban fires draw heightened scrutiny following months of recurring blazes across Germany.
