Three Souls Departed, 34 Injured
In the dead of night, a raging fire engulfed the clinic in the Hamburg district of Hohenfelde, taking the lives of three people and causing injuries to more than 50 individuals. The tragic tale includes one individual fighting for their life, 18 severely hurt, and 15 with minor injuries, as a fire department official disclosed to the German Press Agency.
The fire originated mysteriously in a room on the geriatric ward dedicated to elderly care. The flames then rapidly spread to the floor above, and smoke inundated all four levels of the affected structure, according to the fire department spokesperson.
