Fire department operation - Restaurant cellar burns twice within two days
Following two restaurant fires in Rheinstetten (Karlsruhe district), the police have launched an investigation into arson. According to the police, there had been two fires in the cellar of the pub within two days. On Sunday, a fire broke out in the area of a washing machine. Two restaurant employees were injured by smoke gas while trying to extinguish the fire. Investigators initially assumed that the cause was a technical defect.
This had to be reassessed in light of the second fire the following day, a police spokeswoman said on Tuesday. On Monday, another fire broke out in the cellar. Restaurant employees alerted the emergency services. They brought several employees, guests and residents out of the building. The fire department prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the building. No one was injured. There were indications of arson, said the police spokeswoman.
