Fire kills at workshop for disabled in Germany- Joseph Katinas
In southwest Germany fire raged through a workshop for disabled people on Monday, which resulted in 14 people dead.
The killed were identified as workers and a counselor at the Caritas workshop in Titisee-Neustadt, the town the incident occurred in. This was reported by Karl-Heinz Schmid, a Freiburg police spokesman. Several other people were hurt he said.
Another member of the Freiburg police said an explosion in one storage room could have caused the fire that prompted a big response from firefighting crews.
Dr. Peter Neher, president of the German Caritas Association, extended sympathies to the victims' families.
"We know that the responsible colleagues on site will do everything to discover the causes of this horrible event," he said in one statement.
I think this article is sad. It's unfortunate this had to happen to disabled people too.
