For the second time in just a few weeks there was a fire in an allotment garden in Hanau. One person is said to have fled the scene.
Hanau – In the early hours of the morning on Friday (May 29th), a garden shed caught fire in an allotment garden at the Alfred-Nobel-Bogen in Hanau. At around 4:30 a.m., several residents noticed a cloud of smoke that was visible from afar over the area and called the emergency services. When the fire brigade and police arrived, the hut was already fully ablaze. However, the emergency services were quickly able to contain and extinguish the flames. Investigators estimate the material damage caused to be several thousand euros.
