Overview
- In Nürnberg, a row house fire on Marienbader Straße left three residents hospitalized for severe smoke inhalation after a 44-year-old and a 17-year-old jumped from a second-story ledge, and a dog was found dead.
- Nürnberg’s scene briefly re-ignited during forensic work, prompting renewed firefighting and a road closure that police lifted around 17:30, with damage estimated in the mid–six-figure range.
- In Frankfurt’s Nordend, flames at the restaurant Dolce Vita were contained without injuries as about 50 firefighters responded, and investigators are weighing a possible technical defect versus suspected arson with no conclusion yet.
- Berlin-Schöneberg crews battled a balcony and roof blaze on Zietenstraße for roughly five hours using two aerial ladders, assisted three people at the scene, and kept the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings.
- Essen police opened an inquiry after a storage-room fire at the Panorama restaurant on Viehofer Platz; the operator sustained a minor smoke injury, the blaze was quickly extinguished, and residents remained in their apartments.
