(40) Fire in a multi-family house in Langenzenn

At around 11:00 a.m., the Integrated Control Centre (ILS) received a report of a fire on Untere Ringstraße. Upon arrival of several patrol units from the Zirndorf, Fürth, and Stein police stations, the attic of the multi-family house was already in flames. While the fire department began initial firefighting measures, the officers cordoned off the surrounding streets. The fire brigades from Langenzenn, Wilhermsdorf, Laubendorf, Keidenzell-Stinzendorf, and Zirndorf brought the fire under control and eventually extinguished it.

A 70-year-old resident of the house was taken to a hospital on suspicion of smoke inhalation. The resulting property damage is estimated to be in the mid six-figure range.

The Central Franconia Criminal Investigation Department took the first criminal police measures. In the meantime, the responsible specialist department of the Fürth Criminal Police has taken over further investigations. The determination of the currently unclear cause of the fire is now of central importance.
