Three Injured in Apartment Fire in Offenbach - Offenbach apartment fire leaves three injured and building uninhabitable

A residential fire in Offenbach left three people injured and a building heavily damaged. Emergency crews responded swiftly to the blaze, which broke out in an apartment. One woman suffered severe injuries and was airlifted to hospital for urgent treatment.

The fire erupted in an Offenbach apartment, prompting a rapid response from local firefighters. They managed to extinguish the flames quickly, but thick smoke filled the building. This left the property temporarily uninhabitable while authorities assessed the damage.

A 49-year-old woman was among those hurt, her injuries serious enough to require transport by rescue helicopter. Two others also suffered harm, though their conditions remain undisclosed. Investigators are now examining the scene, with early suspicions pointing to a possible fault in a household appliance. The woman’s identity has not been released in any official reports. Residents of the affected building have been displaced while repairs and safety checks take place.

The fire’s cause remains under investigation, though a malfunctioning appliance is the leading theory. Three individuals were injured, including one critically hurt woman. The building will stay closed until further notice as crews work to restore safety.
