The grounds of the Diakonissen Hospital in Dresden were the scene of an unexpected event on Tuesday afternoon. A fire broke out in the kitchen of a dormitory located on Holzhof Street, causing a major response from the local fire department.

Upon arrival, it was determined that the number of firefighters required on the scene could be reduced. Despite the initial uncertainty about the fire's exact location, the hospital building and patients were not affected. However, the partial blockage of Holzhof Street, and by extension, the hospital grounds, caused some disruption.

Numerous emergency services arrived on the scene, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire. As of now, the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing. Authorities are examining the scene, collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses to determine what led to the incident. Updates will likely be provided once more information is confirmed.

For the most recent status, checking local news from Dresden or official statements from the fire department is advisable. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown at this time.
