Serious injuries and missing person

The fate of the nine-year-old daughter, who has been missing since the fire, is particularly tragic. The mayor of Pinneberg, Thomas Voerste, has assured the family of his support. This is done in view of the high level of material damage, which according to initial estimates is at least 500,000 euros.
Causes of fire and safety

There has also been an increase in battery fires in recent years, due to the increase in battery-powered devices.
As this tragedy shows, fires are an unmistakable danger that can affect all regions.
