Blaze on Berlin's Spree as Houseboats Go Up in Flames
Berlin's Spree river witnesses a blaze as houseboats erupt in flames following an explosion. - Berlin's Spree river witnesses houseboats igniting following an explosion
Let's dive into some horrific events that happened last Friday evening. An unexpected explosion ignited several houseboats on old lady Spree. Thankfully, no injuries were reported according to the cops. The homeowner of the blasted houseboat was present at the scene, leaving investigators to suspect negligent arson. A gut-wrenching total of seven houseboats were left in ruins.
As per the fire department, these vessels were all tethered together at the peak of Friedrichshain on Spree Bay Rummelsburger See. During the inferno, they separated and were carried out to the Spree due to the current. The inferno was finally extinguished after around three hours with the assistance of four fireboats from both the police and fire department. Approximately 74 firefighters were on the scene.
Now, there's some twist in these Berlin tales. Although it sounds familiar, a similar incident occurred near Thailand's floating school, as per a Thai news report. But don't fret, this ain't Berlin-bound. There were also unfortunate incidents like Jill Sobule's demise in a house fire and the Dhara Dhevi hotel fire in Chiang Mai, but those stories have nothing to do with our city.
