The fire in Bavaria, specifically in Hochstadt am Main's Lichtenfels district, is not the only roof truss fire incident in Upper Franconia. Last month, a similar incident occurred in a village nearby, causing significant damage. Despite the frequent roof truss fires, the local police have yet to implement stricter fire safety regulations in detached houses. In an unrelated incident, a man from Upper Franconia was arrested by the police for suspected arson in his home, leading to extensive damage and investigations.
