Shock for Oliver Geissen (51): As confirmed by the address of the German moderator “Bild”, his holiday home burned down on Sunday night. The property that he and his wife Christina Plate (55) owned was in Hillgroven, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein (D). Particularly sad: the house burned down completely.
About 70 firefighters arrived at the property Sunday night after a resident dialed the emergency number. At first, no open flames could be seen at the scene. You just saw a lot of smoke. As reported by a fire department spokesperson, this created complications: “Due to the dense smoke inside the building, the source of the fire could not be clearly located. However, it was clear that there was already a blazing fire on the thatched roof. “
The fire department was on duty for four hours.
Police still cannot say why the fire broke out. The criminal police who took over the case should not have been able to enter the house yet. However, damage of CHF 810,000 is said to have occurred.
For four hours the fire department tried to save the property and fight the fire. More flames erupted after a bulldozer tore down parts of the house to put out the embers. The fire spread even further afterwards. Despite the effort, the vacation home could not be saved. Rescuers had to be content with only two fire hydrants, which were further away. No one was hurt. Oliver Geissen declined to comment on the incident. (bsn)
