Three individuals sustained injuries during the fires that broke out last night.

In the early hours of Thursday, two separate fires broke out in different parts of Hamburg, Germany. The first incident occurred around 1:30 AM in Billstedt, while the second fire in Eimsbüttel was reported at approximately 6:55 AM.

The balcony fire in Billstedt, located on Straße Rahewinkel, was caused by a power bank that ignited, spreading toxic smoke throughout the corresponding apartment due to an open window. The fire department arrived promptly at the scene and managed to extinguish the flames, but one resident was injured as a result. Despite being taken to the hospital, the injured resident refused treatment. No further details about the Billstedt fire incident were provided regarding its cause or any additional injuries.

The second fire in Eimsbüttel was caused by a power bank that caught fire while charging in an apartment room. The flames spread to furniture, and the resident of the apartment attempted to extinguish the fire, suffering burns on her arms in the process. She was also taken to the hospital for treatment. The fire department acted swiftly to put out the fire, preventing any further damage or injuries.

Unfortunately, in both incidents, three individuals were seriously injured. The search results do not provide the name of the resident injured in the apartment fire in Eimsbüttel. No details about the Eimsbüttel fire incident were provided regarding its cause or injuries.

These incidents serve as a reminder to exercise caution when using portable electronic devices and to ensure that they are not left unattended while charging. It is also essential to keep windows closed when charging devices indoors to prevent the spread of smoke in the event of a fire.

Stay safe, Hamburg!
