Fires in Berlin High-Rises Leave Two Injured in Separate Incidents

A severe fire in Spandau hospitalized one person, while a Neukölln blaze led to minor injuries and the evacuation of eight residents.

A fire broke out in a second-floor apartment of an 11-story building in Berlin-Spandau, severely injuring one person who was hospitalized.
The cause of the Spandau fire remains unknown, with furniture in the apartment catching fire for unclear reasons.
Firefighters extinguished the Spandau blaze and inspected the entire building, finding no additional injuries.
In a separate incident in Berlin-Neukölln, a basement fire in an eight-story building caused smoke to spread to some apartments, leading to the evacuation of eight residents.
One person in the Neukölln fire sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital as a precaution, while firefighters worked into the night to ventilate and secure the building.
