On Sunday afternoon, an apartment caught fire and spread to the attic in Berlin-Spandau.
Two turntable ladders were also used to fight the fire. Nobody was hurt. The roof had to be laboriously opened to get to the embers. A drone was also used for reconnaissance and support.
In addition to the professional fire brigades, there were also many volunteer fire brigades on site in Spandau. Four volunteer fire brigades were alerted to occupy the surrounding fire stations.

The fire brigade was busy with 90 emergency services and 26 vehicles on site until the evening with extinguishing work. Nothing can yet be said about the cause of the fire, a fire department of the Berlin police is investigating.
