Heater Ignites in Child’s Room at TV Host Panagiota Petridou’s Solingen Home

She urges followers to unplug high‑power heaters after firefighters cleared heavy smoke.

Overview

  • Shortly after an installer toggled a circuit, Petridou noticed a burning smell and found a fire in the children's room.
  • A plugged‑in heat lamp reportedly ignited even though it had not been used recently.
  • The initial flames were smothered with a blanket before emergency crews arrived.
  • Firefighters ventilated the space, extinguished hotspots with a bucket extinguisher, and police and ambulance units also responded.
  • No injuries were reported, but the room remains largely unusable due to heavy smoke damage and odor.
