Krefeld (dpa / lnw) - In an apartment fire in Krefeld, eight people were injured on Monday - two of them seriously.

The residents had inhaled smoke gases, the fire department announced on Monday.

Since the stairs could no longer be used, the eight people could no longer leave the house independently and the rescue workers had to get them out of the building using turntable ladders.

When the first emergency services arrived, two people reportedly made themselves felt at the windows.

The investigation afterwards revealed that several people were still in the house.

The post-extinguishing work continued in the evening.

The fire brigade prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings.
