Ten residents were injured in a fire in an apartment building in Munich. According to the fire department, an apartment on the first floor was completely burned out early Sunday morning. The residents of the burning apartment were able to leave the house in time. The remaining residents had to stay in their apartments because the stairwell was completely filled with smoke.
Paramedics took four residents of the house to the hospital with smoke inhalation. Six other people were slightly injured. The burned-out apartment is uninhabitable. All other residents were able to return to their apartments after the fire was extinguished. The police initially did not provide any information about the cause of the fire or the amount of damage.
