A fire broke out at a senior residence in Berlin-Charlottenburg early on August 5, 2025. The incident occurred around 2:00 AM on Dernburgstraße, leaving seven people injured, three of whom were severely injured.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a burning apartment on the sixth floor of a seven-story building. Sixty firefighters and 22 vehicles were deployed to combat the fire, and their quick efforts prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the building.
However, the fire did cause some residents to be unable to return to their apartments. In total, the Berlin Fire Department treated or cared for 14 people as a result of the fire. Three additional residents, who were not injured, were also taken to a hospital for further care due to the fire.
Three others, in addition to the injured, could not return to their apartments and were also taken to a hospital for further care. The exact number of apartments affected by the fire is not specified.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is being conducted by the police. At the moment, there is no publicly available detailed update on the cause of the fire from the provided sources.

The fire threatened to spread to other parts of the building from the balcony, but the firefighters managed to contain it. The fire department's swift response ensured that the fire did not cause any further damage or injuries.
