Overview
- A roof fire in Charlottenburg at a six‑storey building on Mommsenstraße and Waitzstraße drew about 100 firefighters and left no injuries reported.
- The facade was fully scaffolded, which limited access and increased the risk of a scaffold collapse.
- Authorities activated the Wasserwehr unit to collect and divert firefighting water to curb inside damage.
- The fire service pushed a NINA alert, Germany’s official warning app, telling people to close windows as smoke moved west.
- In a separate Neukölln apartment fire on Kottbusser Damm, five people self‑evacuated with no injuries, and police will investigate the cause.
