Worms (dpa / lrs) - According to the police, a fire in an attic in Worms resulted in damage of around 300,000 euros.
As the police announced, the residents of the end-of-terrace house were all able to escape unharmed.
Accordingly, the fire broke out on Sunday morning.
According to the police, a technical defect in a refrigerator was probably the cause of the fire.
A resident initially tried to put out the fire himself, but failed, the police said.
When the fire brigade and the police arrived, the roof structure was already in full fire.
The fire also spread to the floor below.
The fire-fighting work lasted several hours due to the recurring pockets of embers, the police said.
During the operation, the adjacent federal highway 9 was completely closed.
The house is no longer habitable.
