In the occasion of a fireplace in a homeless lodging within the Höxter district, injury of an estimated round 100,000 euros was incurred. The hearth was in all probability triggered on Saturday afternoon by a burning cigarette in a mattress in Willebadessen, the police stated. The hearth brigade arrived and extinguished the flames. At least one strongly sooty room is now uninhabitable in the interim.
