Fire in Edenkoben: residents endangered, fire brigade in action!
On Friday evening, there was a serious fire in an apartment building in Edenkoben, which caused property damage of around 100,000 euros on the building. The cause of the fire was attributed to the improper processing of plastic during handicrafts by a resident. As a result, a procedure for negligent arson was initiated against the presumably responsible resident.
When the fire brigade was deployed, two firefighters were able to save two people from the burning building. In addition, four other residents brought themselves to safety. One person was saved from the staircase, while another resident who wanted to jump out of the second floor was brought to safety with the help of a plug -in guide. A total of three people suffered smoke poisoning and were treated in the hospital. The building remains habitable except for two apartments.
Legal consequences of negligent arson
The investigation into negligent arson is based on § 306d StGB, which says that negligent arson can result in serious consequences. This type of offense often arises from carelessness or misconduct and affects both property damage and the endangerment of human life. The legal basis for negligent arson provides for hard punishments, even if they were not deliberately.
In the case of negligent arson, a fire is triggered by breaches of care, which causes foreign objects or buildings to be damaged or people are in danger. Examples of this are unattended grilling or the inflamed of a burning candle that leads to an apartment fire. The punishment for negligent arson can include a prison sentence of up to five years or a fine, depending on the extent of the damage and the endangerment of human life.
The early consultation of a criminal lawyer is recommended because he can develop possible defense approaches and clarify the role of insurance. In the event of negligent arson, insurance can generally refuse to regulate the damage, which can significantly increase the financial consequences for the resident responsible.
