Two fires by arson in Warnemünde

The fire brigade in Rostock was alerted to two fires on ships on the Old Stream of Warnemünde early on June 2, 2019, which were caused by previously unknown perpetrators. Around midnight interior was buring aboard the 'Undine'. The rapid intervention of the emergency services prevented the flames from spreading. At 5.45 a.m., a few meters from the 'Undine', a fire broke out aboard the 24-meter-long cutter 'Contentment' (MMSI No. .: 211227260). It started in the fire-fighting equipment of the ship, not far from the tank. Again, the fire brigade moved out with a large contingent of several stations. The fire boat and the water police were also on site. After a first assessment, the investigators also in this case were convinced of an intentional act. Although the flames could be fought quickly, they caused a considerable damage. The Criminal Investigation Department has initiated investigations in both cases on suspicion of arson.
