After the devastating fire in an apartment building in Hameln, two children and the 27-year-old father are in mortal danger. A child died in the fire.
As the police announced on Sunday afternoon, the 23-year-old mother and two other siblings are also being treated in clinics. The children are between one and six years old. The oldest died in a hospital. Five rescue helicopters had transported the injured away.
No clues as to the cause
The cause of the fire is not clear. Fire experts will inspect the apartment on Monday, police said. According to investigators, there was no clear trace of the origins in the rooms on the first floor. Witnesses reported two loud bangs, it said. However, that should not have been a decisive indication. The fire broke out around 12:10 p.m. Saturday.
