Drama bei Kreuzberger Hochhausbrand an der Lindenstraße: Eine Mieterin (22) stürzte eine Minute, nachdem die Feuerwehr eingetroffen war, aus der Brandwohnung im zwölften Stock in die Tiefe. Der zweite Mieter, ein 45-jähriger Mann, fiel auf ein Sprungkissen, erlitt aber trotzdem tödliche Verletzungen. Die Retter wurden zudem behindert, da zwei Privatwagen die Rettungszufahrten blockierten.

drama at Kreuzberg high -rise fire on Lindenstrasse: A tenant (22) fell a minute after the fire brigade had arrived, from the fire apartment on the twelfth floor. The second tenant, a 45-year-old man, fell on a jumping pillow, but still suffered fatal injuries. The rescuers were also hindered because two private cars blocked the rescue access.

In the devastating apartment fire on the twelfth floor of the Kreuzberg high -rise on Lindenstrasse, the rescuers apparently lost valuable seconds and minutes, since two private vehicles were in the fire brigade access. The implementation of the vehicles and clearing the way for the emergency vehicles costs time, according to James Klein, spokesman for the Berlin fire brigade.

The fire brigade was alerted at 4:27 p.m. and the first vehicle arrived at the fire location at 4:31 p.m. The first person jumped or fell out of the apartment one minute after the arrival and was immediately dead. The spokesman could not say how long the fire in the apartment was raging. However, fire generally spreads rapidly.

The rescuers saw the second person, a man who desperately clung to the railing of the balcony. They brought a jump cushion there that inflates within a minute. The man let go and dropped from 36 meters. He hit the cushion's edge, but the case could not be cushioned and the man died on site. It is doubtful whether a rescue through the jump cushion would have been possible with this case, since the pillows are only designed for a maximum height of 16 meters.

According to the fire brigade spokesman, there are physical limits regarding the fall height, which can be cushioned by a pillow, without the most severe or fatal consequences. In addition, larger pillows would no longer fit into a fire engine. The two tenants could not save the aerial ladders, who reach a maximum of 22 meters in Berlin. For high-rise buildings, there should be an escape and rescue staircase houses, which in this case could be used as the only escape route.

The cause of the fire is still unclear, but the police are investigating the suspicion of serious arson.
