Fourteen disabled people have been killed and several more badly burned in a fire and subsequent explosion that ripped through a charity workshop filled with more than a hundred panic stricken employees in Germany’s rural south western Black Forest region.
Police said that the victims died from burns and smoke inhalation in the blaze that occurred at the workshop in the town of Titisee-Neustadt south east of Freiburg im Breisgau. A further seven victims were injured.
Dozens of police and fire crews raced to the scene of the blaze. Fire crews fought for two hours to bring the inferno under control. Several workers were pulled from the building by firemen wearing breathing apparatus.
There were also reports of an explosion inside the building shortly after the fire took hold. Police said they were investigating the cause. They said they could not rule out the possibility that gas canisters had ignited.
