Four Peeps Take a Hit in Smoke-filled Flat Fire in Filderstadt

Here's the scoop on a blast from the past: four people got hurt in a blaze at an apartment in a multi-residential building in Filderstadt, a neck of the woods under Esslingen's jurisdiction. A couple of neighbors spotted the inferno in the upstairs pad, all thanks to a smoke detector's shriek, as the fire department confirmed. They then acted right away and saved the 90-year-old tenant from the burning joint, hauling him out. An 82-year-old lady made it out on her own steam.
Reports state that the four folks took a hit from smoke inhalation or that they got banged up while scrambling for the exit. The elderly trio - the 90-year-old, the 82-year-old, and the 58-year-old - were rushed to the hospital. The youngest casualty, merely 18, also joined the medical caravan.
Police are still clueless about the blaze's source, and the house now remains vacant until repairs. The damage is estimated at an eye-watering €100,000.
