Four people were injured due to toxic smoke during a house fire in Fahrenzhausen, Germany.
On Sunday morning, a house fire in Fahrenzhausen resulted in injuries to four individuals due to exposure to toxic smoke. Among the injured was a 79-year-old man who sustained a severe burn on his head. He was subsequently transported to Munich's Bogenhausen Hospital for treatment of his serious, although not life-threatening, injuries. Emergency services responded swiftly, arriving at the scene shortly after 6:30 AM to contain the blaze.
The fire broke out on the ground floor of the residential building and quickly spread to the first floor, prompting a large-scale response from local firefighters and rescue teams. The four residents, aged between 58 and 79 years, were able to evacuate the building on their own before emergency responders arrived. Once on site, the first responders assessed the situation and began their rescue operations while battling the flames.
The fire prompted the immediate call for additional assistance, particularly firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus to perform interior firefighting operations. The involvement of multiple units from the Haimhausen Fire Department highlighted the scale of this emergency response, ensuring that the situation was brought under control quickly to prevent further injuries and damage.
