The rescue took alarm at 20:30 o’clock in the evening and firefighters battled during the night to limit the sharp fire. At midnight the fire was reasonably under control.

– fire has ended, but we are left by watch until morning. The house is basically completely damaged. Is it not a fire damaged it is water or smoke damage, says Conny Peterson, head of rescue operations in emergency, at a time.

He wanted earlier in the evening did not speculate on how the fire may have started.

– Callers have seen that it burned on the outside before the automatic alarm goes off. Normally if there is a fire indoors so goes the automatic alarm going before you call, so to speak.

So what you’re saying is that there is someone who lit the outdoors?
– I can not answer, because I do not know. There are no natural reasons for it, that’s what I can say.

He stood in the evening and saw his primary school go up in smoke.

– You hear that someone has been here and lit the fire. I heard there were two guys or something like this, but I do not know. I’m not sure, I’m well in shock, says Ismail Abuhelal.
