Deadly

fire sweeps German shelter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fire spread

quickly through the cramped conditions

 

 

 

At

least nine people have died in a fire at a shelter for homeless people in

central Germany.

The blaze swept through the mobile homes used to house the

homeless in the town of Halberstadt, about 170km (100

miles) west of Berlin.

Authorities said that the fire, which has been brought under

control, broke out during the early hours of

Friday.

Police said at least five others were injured and taken to

hospital, and gave no immediate cause for the fire.

They were attempting to establish how many people were inside

the shelter at the time of the blaze, which ripped through five housing

units.

According to official records the shelter had 15 residents, but

police said they thought more were living there, the Associated Press

reported.
