- Onlookers stumble upon a blaze on a restaurant's upper level.
Due to the vigilance of an onlooker, a significant fire in Scharbeutz, Kreis Ostholstein, was averted. This 55-year-old individual spotted flames igniting part of a thatched roof on a beachfront restaurant along the promenade of the Baltic seaside resort, as reported by the police during the night hours. Joined by two assistants from an adjacent establishment, he valiantly attempted to suppress the fire using a fire extinguisher. Upon their arrival, firefighters successfully put an end to the inferno.
