Berlin (AP) - A person was killed in a fire in a nursing home in Berlin-Kladow on Tuesday.

There is a "large number of injuries," said a spokesman for the fire department in the evening.

The fire is under control.

How many people suffered from smoke poisoning has not yet been determined.

A resident's room on the first floor was completely burned out.

According to the fire department, it was difficult for those in need of care to get out of the building because of the dense smoke.
