Woman Throws Firefighter Out After Burnt Spaghetti Triggers Smoke Alarm in Immenstadt

Police say the incident caused no damage with the resident set to face an administrative charge for creating a fire hazard.

Overview

  • Responders were called after a neighbor smelled smoke and heard a fire alarm and could not immediately find the source inside the building.
  • A woman opened then slammed her door on firefighters, prompting one crew member to climb in through an open window on a ladder and detect smoke inside the apartment.
  • The woman then forcibly pushed the firefighter out of her flat instead of accepting help, and the crew descended and secured the scene.
  • Officers found the smoke came from spaghetti left to burn on an active stove, there were no injuries and police reported no property damage.
  • Local police said the resident is expected to be charged with an Ordnungswidrigkeit, an administrative offence for creating a fire hazard, a case that raises questions about responder access and safety protocols.
