Following the fall in Darmstadt, a fire breaks out
The story of the child's rescue was not yet over. While the mother was at the hospital with the infant, a fire broke out in the apartment – according to the Police, possibly due to burnt food. At that time, the Seven-year-old was reportedly still in the apartment.
The brother was also taken to the hospital as a precaution. Since the apartment was no longer habitable, an replacement housing was organized by the housing association. The extent of the damage was still unknown.
The Police in Darmstadt were informed about the fire in the apartment, potentially caused by burnt food. Despite the evacuation, the seven-year-old toddler was found within the smoke-filled home by the arriving firefighters.
