Sinzig (dpa / lrs) - A barn in Sinzig (Ahrweiler district) caught fire - the damage is around 100,000 euros.

No people or animals were injured, as the Remagen police announced on Monday.

Shortly after midnight, emergency calls had reached the police about the burning barn.

Bales of hay and tools were stored in the building.

The emergency services brought the residents to safety, because the intense heat and the rapid spread threatened to spread the fire to an adjacent residential building.

The fire brigade's extinguishing work continues.

According to the police, the house is no longer habitable due to the heat and damage.

The cause of the fire was initially unclear.
