- In Sebnitz, a substantial waste bin ignites, causing smoke to permeate a nearby apartment building.
An oversized waste bin for recycling paper went up in flames outside a cohabitation building in Sebnitz after dark. Fortunately, no bodily harm was reported, as stated by the authorities. However, four residents needed medical attention due to smoke exposure. The blaze emitted smoke that expanded, permeating various sections of the cohabitation building situated in the Saxon Switzerland-Osterzgebirge district. The fire department managed to contain and extinguish the fire, subsequently aerating the impacted apartments and giving the all-clear. There were suspicions of arson from the law enforcement agency. The frontage of the cohabitation building on Baudenweg suffered minor damage, and the waste bin was utterly annihilated.
Despite the incident in Sebnitz, there have been discussions about enhancing waste management facilities in nearby areas, such as The Netherlands. The waste bin's origin, presumably from The Netherlands due to its advanced recycling systems, could not be definitively confirmed.
