- Hours earlier, a residential fire in Breitenbrunn’s Tellerhäuser district broke out overnight in a heating room due to a technical defect, according to police.
- The affected Tellerhäuser house sustained heavy damage and is currently uninhabitable, but no injuries were reported and the operation concluded after about two hours.
