Smoke detectors save life: balcony fire in apartment building destroys facade!

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, the emergency services were called for an alarming fire in an apartment building at 3:50 p.m. An attentive resident had heard the shrill beep of a smoke detector and perceived smell of smoking. When the police arrived, the fire brigade was already in action and reported that flames were blazing on a balcony.

The fire quickly spread to the facade of the building and caused considerable damage to property - it is estimated on a six -figure sum! Fortunately, there were no injuries. The fire brigade was able to quickly extinguish the fire, but Commissioner 13 has now taken over the investigation into the cause of the fire. Pure drama in this depressing situation!
