Fire Breaks Out in Huckarde, Dortmund

A fire incident occurred in a residential and commercial building located on Rahmer Straße in Huckarde, Dortmund, on Tuesday, September 2nd. The fire, which broke out on the second floor of the building, was reported at approximately 00:15, and flames were visible from the apartment.

The Dortmund Fire Department was promptly called to the scene and successfully extinguished the fire after an operation that lasted approximately two hours. However, the fire caused significant damage to the affected apartment and the one below it, rendering them uninhabitable due to the water used to extinguish the flames.

A 56-year-old resident was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure due to smoke inhalation, but their life was not at risk. Fortunately, all other residents of the building remained unharmed.

Heat from the fire also caused cracks in the windows of a ground-floor restaurant. The police evacuated the residential building due to the fire, and the Dortmund Police Department has taken over the investigation, with the Criminal Police now handling the case.

Current findings suggest suspicion of negligent arson, but no further information about the cause of the fire has been provided in this article. The incident is case number 0764 in Dortmund's police records, and the Dortmund Police Department's website can be found at https://dortmund.polizei.nrw/.
