A fire in the municipality of Jossgrund resulted in 80,000 euros worth of damage and an uninhabitable house. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Jossgrund-Oberndorf – Dense smoke and fire brigade lights dominated the scene in the town thoroughfare of Jossgrund-Oberndorf in the Kinzigtal for several hours on Tuesday morning (May 5th). A residential building on Lohrer Strasse was on fire.

House in Kinzigtal burns down completely – 80,000 euros worth of damage

A witness reported the fire around 8 a.m. This also helped a 48-year-old resident of the house to escape outside in time. The resident was slightly injured and received medical treatment on site as a precaution, according to the police statement.

The extinguishing work continued until late morning. The inside of the house was completely burned out, causing material damage of around 80,000 euros. The building is currently no longer habitable. While the work for the fire brigade is over, it is just beginning for the criminal investigation department. The officers now have to find out the cause of the fire, which is still largely unclear. Among other things, the investigators are investigating the suggestion that a candle could have started the fire.

Meanwhile, the fire department in Langenselbold was called to a somewhat mysterious fire. A moped parked in a roundabout was on fire.
