If a fire breaks out in a nursing home Plauen An 81-year-old man died in Vogtland overnight. Exactly how the fire broke out in his room remains unclear, a police spokesman said. Three other residents were injured and suffered smoke inhalation. They are two men aged 79 and 83 years and a 93 year old woman.
Firefighters were alerted at around 5:20 p.m. and the fire was extinguished quickly. But any help came too late for the 81-year-old. A total of twelve residents who were in the affected part of the house have been evacuated, but they are in another wing of the building nursing home can be accommodated, said a police spokesman. The crisis intervention team has started work.
