Arson in Parchim: apartment building in flames! Looking for clues!

A terrible incident occurred on Tuesday evening in Parchim when a fire broke out in the stairwell of an apartment building on Walter-Hase-Straße. The police report that the fire started in the basement around 7:50 p.m. and caused an estimated property damage of around 14,000 euros. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but several residents had to leave their apartments while the fire was being extinguished, which made the situation even more tense.

The fire department had its hands full trying to ventilate the staircase. After the air was clear again, the residents were allowed to return. However, the home's main power line remains a serious safety concern as it was also damaged by the flames, resulting in the power being shut off to the entire staircase. The thick smoke and heat made these measures necessary, and the emergency services were on duty until late into the night.
