A fire at a house in Lower Bavaria caused extensive damage. The property in Plattling (Deggendorf district) is no longer habitable, police said. The two residents, aged 65 and 60, managed to escape at night. The cause of the fire was initially unclear.

Investigators estimate the amount of damage to be in the mid-six figures. Based on initial findings, the fire occurred in the front of the wood frame house and spread quickly. The roof and garage were completely destroyed.
