Rapid alerts limited harm to minor injuries.

Overview

  • In Bedburg-Hau early Wednesday, burned rolls in a microwave filled an upper-floor apartment with smoke, neighbors helped an older resident outside, and he was later taken to a hospital with no damage to the apartment or building reported.
  • Police in Freising said a 12:04 p.m. Monday call involved a 20-year-old student who left a stove on after cooking, igniting food but causing only marginal damage and no injuries.
  • Around 8:15 p.m. Monday in Freising, an 86-year-old accidentally placed an electric kettle on a hotplate, which melted and smoked, prompting firefighters to force entry and take her to a local hospital with light injuries.
