Fire disaster in Oyten: 200,000 euros in damage, all apartments undamaged!
In Oyten, an idyllic town in the Verden district, a devastating fire occurred in a residential and commercial building on Monday. The material damage is estimated at around 200,000 euros, but the happy ending is that no one was injured. An attentive passer-by noticed the fire in an attic apartment and immediately alerted the fire department. Despite the impressive efforts of the fire department, the attic apartment had to be considered completely burned out. In addition, the business premises of a logistics company on the ground floor are also no longer usable, as ndr.de reports.
The situation was made worse by the heavy smoke, which meant that the surrounding road had to be closed. Residents were urged to keep their windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering. While the flames were brought under control, the remaining apartments in the building were fortunately able to remain undamaged, as reported by [kreiszeitung.de](https://www.kreiszeitung.de/lokales/verden/oyten-ort54165/passant-bemerkt-feuer-hoher- Schaden-bei-brand-in-wohnhaus-in-niedersachsen-93776336.html).
The cause of the fire remains unclear
The cause of the fire is currently unclear and police have begun an investigation to find out what led to this dramatic incident. In many cases, flammable work can lead to such dangerous situations. According to the Brandschutz-Zentrale, work such as welding, grinding or flame cutting are among the most common causes of fire. Therefore, it is advisable that such activities be supervised by trained personnel to minimize potential hazards.
The incident in Oyten is a stark reminder of how important it is to pay attention to fire safety measures in every home and business. Even in hobby areas, you should be careful with devices such as hot glue guns or soldering irons, which can quickly become sources of fire if you are careless.
In the hope of a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the fire, the town of Oyten remains in our thoughts while we work together to promote greater attention to fire prevention.
