Supermarket Fire: Technical Defect Clear, Negligence or Deliberate Acts Suspected
A week ago, a major fire tore through a supermarket in Sassnitz, causing a hefty one million euros in damage. Contrary to initial suspicions, the blaze wasn't sparked by a technical malfunction, as confirmed by local authorities on Tuesday. As a result, investigators are now zeroing in on potential negligent or deliberately malicious actions as the culprit.
During the early hours of November 6-7, the supermarket's bakery branch and sections of the roof structure and brickwork in the warehouse were severely ravaged. Additionally, nearby residential buildings had to be temporarily evacuated due to heavy smoke, with eight residents being swiftly rescued. Luckily, there were no casualties reported in the conflagration.
As the technical defect hypothesis is now out the window, the probe is intensifying its examination of potential cases of negligence or deliberate arson. At the moment, no criminal charges have been filed in relation to this incident, as investigations continue.
