A brave man from Potsdam put out a balcony fire in the Am Schlaatz district on Friday morning. When he noticed that smoke and flames were rising from the balcony below him, he poured water down several times. “This is how he managed to extinguish the open flames,” the police said. At the same time, the residents prevented the fire from spreading.
The fire brigade, alerted by the neighbors, then took over the residual extinguishing measures in the apartment building in the street An der alten Zauche. According to initial findings, a flower box had caught fire for an unknown reason.
