Actually, they just wanted to celebrate marriage. With DJ Ötzi and fireworks. But then the most beautiful day in a couple’s life turns into an inferno.
Gammertingen – Five people were slightly injured in a major fire on the premises of a tire dealer in Gammertingen in Baden-Württemberg. “The damage caused cannot yet be precisely quantified, but it is estimated at several million euros,” the police said on Sunday.
According to a spokesman, investigators are checking whether wedding fireworks could be related to the inferno. As the “Schwäbische Zeitung” reported online, the company owner celebrated his wedding on Saturday evening. The singer DJ Ötzi also performed there. Around 11:30 p.m., the first reports of a fire on the company premises were received. At the top, 380 firefighters from four districts were deployed, said a spokesman for the Sigmaringen district fire brigade association. Burning tires, parts of a warehouse, vehicles and gas bottles went up in flames.
Four of the injured were taken to the hospital with suspected smoke inhalation. Another person suffered lacerations in a fall. dpa
