Fire at Kassel-Bettenhausen building causes extensive property damage and leaves one individual with injuries
A devastating fire broke out in a multi-family house in Kassel's Leipziger Straße area on June 15, 2025, at 6:15 PM. The incident left a 60-year-old resident requiring medical treatment at a local hospital, as they suffered severe burns to their forearms.
The fire began on a private terrace due to a gas leak while using a gas grill. The blaze quickly spread to the wooden terrace floor and then to the building, causing extensive property damage estimated in the low six-figure range. As a result, the resident's apartment is currently uninhabitable.
