Fire at Magdeburg Shopping Center Leaves Two with Smoke Inhalation

Two individuals sustain minor injuries following a shopping center fire in Magdeburg - Pair sustain minor injuries amid shopping centre blaze in Magdeburg

Hey, here's the scoop on the fire that took place recently at a shopping center in good ol' Magdeburg. Let's dive in!

Two individuals were lightly injured due to smoke inhalation following a fire in the underground garage of a Magdeburg shopping center. A 56-year-old gentleman was rushed to the hospital and later discharged, while a woman was treated at the scene and didn't require hospitalization.

The incident was initially reported by the "Magdeburger Volksstimme." The cause of the fire was a small truck loaded with textiles that ignited Monday evening, about an hour before the shopping center was due to close. Luckily, as the fire was in the delivery area outside the publicly accessible parking zone, the shopping center itself remained largely unscathed.

The fire department worked efficiently to put out the flames and prevent them from spreading. The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage are yet to be determined, with investigations set to commence later in the morning. As of now, there's no apparent connection to a past incident in Magdeburg involving a vehicle ramming into a crowd at a Christmas market.
