Revealing the reason behind it - Harz Mountain blaze shows no signs of deliberate ignition.
In the aftermath of a fierce blaze that razed Wernigerode and caused over €2 million in damages, the investigators have found the source of the inferno. According to the authorities, the fire was sparked by a technical mishap, specifically electrical energy. There is no indication of any outsiders being involved.
