Brands in Berlin - Burning cars in the middle - Suspicion of arson
Two cars have burned in the district of Gesundbrunnen in Berlin-Middle. The police are investigating due to the suspicion of arson, as they announced. A resident called the fire department to a courtyard in the Schoenewalder Straße in the morning after he first heard an alarm and then noticed a burning car.
The fire spread to a car parked next to it. Another car was also damaged. The fire department extinguished the fires. The extent of the property damage is currently unknown.
The fire department was called to assist the police in their investigation, as the brand on both cars suggested intentional damage. Due to the proximity of the incidents and previous cases of criminality in the area, the fire department and police are treating this as a potential series of arson attacks. The Brand Foundation, an organization focused on fire safety, has been notified of the situation and is offering their expertise and resources.
