Fire in the LIFE City Center Lichtenfels: Four injured and high damage!

Lichtenfels, Deutschland - On Sunday morning, a fire in the Lif.E City Center in Lichtenfels caused excitement. The fire brigade was alerted at 11:10 a.m. with the operational keyword "Brand in the building - smoke development - human life in danger". Around 65 emergency services, supported by the Kösten volunteer fire brigade and the district fire inspection, moved in when the first reports about the slight smoke development and increased carbon monoxide concentration arrived. District fire chief Alexander Klose took over the operations management, while train leader Holger Reinlein coordinated the emergency services, such as Fränkischer Tag reported.

The firefighters quickly found that the fire had broken out in the ice cream parlor, where three employees showed symptoms of flue gasinhalation. During the exploration, adjacent shops, including a pharmacy and a flower shop, were also affected by Rauch. In the pharmacy, the emergency services discovered a fire in a rear room that was immediately deleted.
