Residents Flee Nursing Facility in Quedlinburg Following Fire Incident, Affecting 49 Individuals - Residents Relocated From Quedlinburg Nursing Home: 49 Individuals
In the heart of the Harz District, a fire broke out at a nursing and care home in Quedlinburg. The incident, which occurred in the basement of House 2, has left the entire facility affected.
The fire department, along with other emergency services, swiftly carried out the evacuation of the residents. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the evacuation process. Initial reports suggest that 16 residents were evacuated, with the remaining 33 being assisted by around 45 emergency services.
The evacuated residents have been distributed to other facilities within the Harz District. The Harz Police is responsible for this distribution, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the evacuated residents.
As of now, the cause of the fire remains unknown. Suspicions point towards a technical defect as the possible culprit, but this has yet to be confirmed. The main power distributor was on fire, which has led to critical conditions in the power supply. Initial estimates suggest that power repair cannot be realised in the short term.
A fire cause investigator is scheduled to be on site at the beginning of the week, aiming to uncover the cause of the fire. Due to the extent of the damage, a return to the home is currently not foreseeable.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. For the latest reports on the fire's investigation and reconstruction progress, we recommend consulting local news sources or official municipal announcements from Quedlinburg or Harz District.
