Brands - Three adolescents to room fire in hospital
After a fire in a room in the Kreis Loerrach, three teenagers with suspicion of carbon monoxide poisoning have come to the hospital. According to the police, the fire broke out at a single-family house in Malsburg-Marzell on a Sunday afternoon. Preliminary knowledge suggests that a handheld device battery, which had overheated while charging, may have caused the fire.
It was initially unclear to what extent the teenagers were injured, according to a spokesperson. The damage was estimated to be around 20,000 Euros, according to the statements. The house was temporarily uninhabitable due to the smoke. The residents had gone to live with relatives.
The brand of the handheld device is currently under investigation by the authorities. The fire department used a specific room in the Lörrach station as a temporary storage for the salvaged items from the house. Despite the helpful information provided by the teenagers, they were advised to avoid using any nicotine products due to the potential risk of nicotine poisoning. The local police are urging the public to be more cautious when charging electronic devices to prevent similar incidents.
