Burnt-out villa in the Altstrimmig in the Cochem-Zell region – SWR Aktuell

Even on the second day after a fire broke out in a property in the municipality of Zell (Mosul), firefighters had to extinguish the embers, according to their statements. According to initial estimates, property damage in the millions is said to have occurred.

Investigations into the cause of the fire are still ongoing

Police said the cause of the fire was still unclear. Police did not confirm initial suspicions about the cause of the chimney fire. Because the burnt-out main house on private property with several buildings is at risk of collapsing, it is likely that police officers and an expert will not be able to enter the scene of the fire until next Monday, according to a police spokesman.

The main building may be a complete loss, the spokesman said. Several panicked firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading to the neighboring buildings. A fire broke out in a place secured by walls and walls on Wednesday evening. According to the police, there were no injuries.

The firefighters had to leave the house in the chemig burning in a controlled manner

According to the information, more than 100 firefighters from the area were working on Wednesday evening. In the evening, flames can be seen outside the village. According to the firefighters, the fire could not be brought under control due to “difficult local conditions”. Therefore, emergency services burned the house in a controlled manner throughout the night.

On Thursday morning there was still a plume of smoke above the building, which was secured with walls and barbed wire. From the outside it can be seen that the upper truss of the villa was completely destroyed. Neither the residents of Altstrimmig nor the mayor of Altstrimmig wish to comment on the property owner.
