Idar-Oberstein (dpa / lrs) - A half-timbered house in Idar-Oderstein (Birkenfeld district) was completely destroyed by fire.

The fire brigade was called on Sunday evening because the roof structure was on fire.

A spread of the fire to an adjacent building could be prevented, as the police said.

Ten residents had to be brought to safety due to the heavy smoke development.

140 firefighters were on site for the extinguishing work.
