Police in Brno evacuated 14 people from a burning apartment building on Karáskovo náměstí early on the morning of 14 November. One resident was taken to the University Hospital Brno-Bohunice with serious burns. The cause of the fire has not been identified. Firefighters were called shortly after 08:00. Flames were seen from a first-floor window, prompting officers to evacuate the building. Seven fire units were deployed, and firefighters declared the second level of a four-stage fire alarm. The fire destroyed one room and smoke damaged a second. Firefighters put out the blaze using a single water jet inside the building. After the intervention, traces of smoke were visible on the building’s facade. For the people forced to leave quickly, firefighters arranged an evacuation bus. The emergency medical service sent four rescue teams with a large-capacity ambulance. In total, 11 people were treated on scene, and most of the evacuees were released after treatment for smoke inhalation. Investigators from the fire and rescue service are now looking for the cause of the fire. The matter is still under investigation.
