High Prices Ahead for This Brand of Cigarettes
In the quiet town of Nördlingen, Germany, an unexpected incident unfolded at a local hotel. A hotel guest from North Rhine-Westphalia found themselves in an unusual predicament, causing the fire brigade to be alerted in the early hours of the morning.
The incident began when the guest decided to remove a smoke detector in their room to smoke a cigarette, an act that is not part of the hotel's official procedures. This action, however, had unintended consequences as the removed smoke detector triggered the fire alarm, setting off a chain of events.
Upon receiving the alarm, the fire department promptly responded, arriving at the hotel around 3 a.m. Upon their arrival, there was no sign of a fire. The police were also involved in the investigation, determining that the smoke detector removal was not due to a genuine fire threat but a result of the guest's illegal actions.
The hotel guest will now have to bear the costs of the fire department's deployment as well as several hundred euros in fines. In addition, the guest will also have to pay contractual penalties for removing the smoke detector. The exact identity of the guest and the specific time period were not detailed in the available sources.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to hotel rules and regulations, especially those related to fire safety. It is crucial to ensure the safety of all guests and staff, and actions such as removing smoke detectors can have serious consequences.
The hotel in Nördlingen, Germany, was the location of the incident. The Donau-Ries district was the region where this unusual event took place. The hotel management has not released a statement regarding the incident, but it is likely that they will be reviewing their fire safety procedures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
