Ansbach (dpa / lby) - In an apartment building in Ansbach, a kitchen has gone up in flames.

According to initial findings, a defective water pipe triggered a short circuit and a toaster caught fire, as a police spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

In the fire on Monday morning, the 43-year-old apartment owner and a 19-year-old neighbor were slightly injured and brought to the hospital.

The fire brigade put out the flames.
