Nighttime Blaze in Hamburg’s Mümmelmannsberg Destroys Tow Truck and Car

Police are investigating possible arson, with any connection to last week’s Billstedt fires still unproven.

Overview

  • Emergency crews were called to Strietkoppel around 1:09 a.m., a police operations spokesman said.
  • Firefighters put out the flames, but the tow truck and the car were completely burned.
  • Heat from the fire damaged four nearby vehicles.
  • Hamburg police have opened an investigation that includes possible deliberate ignition.
  • Officials have not determined the cause or linked the incident to earlier Billstedt blazes, where a suspect was detained last week.
