It took me a while to talk police into letting me pass into my street this evening.It was blocked by at least eight fire engines,and there was still the smell of a big fire in the air. A man had died in the flames, neighbours told me. I had been worried about Emil, my dear cat, and about my flat, but my house wasn't affected at all. I was lucky!Almost all policemen and firemen have left now. Soccer fans took over again.
And now off to watch Netherlands beat Italy - or the other way round. May the best looking team win! ;)
P.S. 23:46 h: The fire across from "Cafe Toronto" had been huge, I read in online news later. 500 m2 of roofs in flames, the black soothy clouds were seen for miles around, 80 firemen had been working feverishly to extinguish the fire and save the inhabitants. The fire had started before 2 pm and was under control at 6 pm only. People (and their cats) had stayed in the burning house, but everybody was saved, and even though a few had been harmed severely, nobody died. Check "Tagesspiegel", "Welt", , "Bild" and "RBB tv" for more infos and pictures of the huge fire in my street.
I'm so glad everyboy was saved after all, thanks to firebrigade and police, who risked their health and lives.
