Großbeeren / Berlin (dpa / bb) - In the Heidering correctional facility in Großbeeren, a prisoner was injured in a fire in a cell on Sunday.
He was flown with a rescue helicopter to the Berlin accident hospital, as a spokesman for the Brandenburg Police Situation Center in Potsdam said in the evening.
The clinic has a special department for burn injuries.
The Heidering prison in Berlin is located in Brandenburg.
The fire was extinguished relatively quickly and had not spread to other parts of the building, as it was called.

The cause of the fire was still unclear.
Forensic technicians are to investigate on Monday, the spokesman for the situation center said.
