Fires likely caused by technical defects - Two major fires in Germany’s Main-Kinzig district linked to technical failures
Two recent fires in Germany's Main-Kinzig district, one in a warehouse and another in a residential building, have caused significant damage and injuries. Authorities have ruled out criminal activity in both incidents, attributing them to technical failures. Last week, a warehouse in Maintal-Bischofsheim was engulfed in flames, resulting in approximately one million euros in damage. Investigations suggest that the fire was likely caused by batteries. Meanwhile, earlier this week, a residential fire in Erlensee caused around 400,000 euros in damage and left an 81-year-old resident with minor injuries. Both fires were also attributed to technical defects. Police in Offenbach have confirmed that there is no evidence of criminal activity in either of the fires. Authorities believe that technical failures were the primary cause in both incidents, highlighting the importance of regular safety checks and maintenance. The fires in Maintal-Bischofsheim and Erlensee have caused substantial damage and affected local residents. With no signs of criminal activity, authorities urge residents and businesses to ensure their electrical systems and equipment are in good working order to prevent similar incidents in the future.
