In the night before Sunday, a caravan parked in a large parking lot on Poelchaustraße in Marzahn-Hellersdorf burned out completely. When firefighters arrived, the trailer was already fully engulfed in flames; the rapid extinguishing prevented the fire from spreading to nearby cars, which were only damaged by the heat. A propane cylinder stored in the caravan also caught fire, but was extinguished and continuously cooled to prevent bursting. The cause of the fire is not yet known; police have launched an investigation.
