Fire Forces 750 Clubgoers to Evacuate German Nightclub

A blaze at a popular hip-hop venue in southwestern Germany forced hundreds of partygoers to evacuate early Sunday morning. While no one was injured in the incident, three people received treatment for shock at the scene.

BERLIN (AP) — A fire at a nightclub in southwestern Germany forced 750 patrons to evacuate during the early morning hours on Sunday.

Emergency officials confirmed that no injuries occurred during the evacuation at the venue in Kehl, a community located close to the French border.

Authorities reported that three individuals received on-site medical attention for shock-related symptoms.

Local media identified the establishment as K Club Kehl, known as a favored destination for hip-hop music enthusiasts.

Officials are currently examining what sparked the blaze.

According to the German news agency dpa, more than 80 emergency responders including firefighters, law enforcement officers, and paramedics responded to the scene.

The incident brings to mind a deadly nightclub fire that occurred on New Year’s Eve at a Swiss ski resort in Crans-Montana, where investigators determined that champagne bottle sparklers caused a blaze that claimed dozens of lives.
