A fire broke out in a 10-story apartment building in Berlin on Wednesday, forcing residents to evacuate and prompting a large response from firefighters.

The fire started on the fifth floor of the building, located in the Prenzlauer Berg district, at around 10:30 a.m. local time.

More than 100 firefighters were on the scene, battling the blaze and evacuating residents. All residents were safely evacuated, and no injuries have been reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The fire is the second major fire in Berlin in recent weeks. On January 10, a fire destroyed a historic building in the Mitte district.

Residents of the affected building are being assisted by the Red Cross and other social services.

The fire is a reminder of the importance of fire safety. Residents should make sure they have working smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in their homes.

They should also be aware of the fire escape plan for their building and practice it regularly.
