Fires in Offenbach, Neunkirchen and Waldbrunn Leave Three Seriously Hurt, Prompt Probes

Investigators are pursuing separate cause inquiries across the three incidents.

Overview

  • In Offenbach, a ground-floor apartment fire left three residents seriously injured, including a 49-year-old woman flown to a clinic, and heavy smoke has rendered the building uninhabitable.
  • Police said the Offenbach blaze may have been triggered by a technical defect in a household appliance, though the cause remains unconfirmed.
  • In Neunkirchen, firefighters responded to five separate fires overnight, rescued seven people from a smoke-filled house, and police are investigating suspected arson in all cases.
  • An early-morning roof fire in Waldbrunn drew more than 100 responders from fire, THW, police and medical services, who stopped the flames from reaching the main home, and no injuries were reported.
  • Authorities estimate six-figure euro damage in Waldbrunn, while the loss in Offenbach has not been specified and all investigations remain active.
