Hannover Nursing Home Fire Injures Over 50, Investigations Continue

A fire in a Hannover-Nordstadt nursing home left one person critically injured, caused significant damage, and displaced residents, with a technical defect suspected as the cause.

Over 50 residents were injured in the fire, with three seriously hurt, including one in critical condition.
The fire, detected in a resident's room, was contained by emergency responders before spreading to other rooms.
Smoke caused extensive damage, rendering the upper floor uninhabitable, and damages are estimated at 150,000 euros.
Most residents displaced by the fire were relocated within the nursing home, though space limitations remain a challenge.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, with a technical defect currently suspected but not yet confirmed.
