A misguided New Year's Eve rocket started a fire in a skyscraper in Frankfurt am Main. The rocket was fired in front of the house and, according to the fire department, first set fire to a sixth-floor balcony of the building before the flames spread to the apartment.

Firefighters were eventually able to extinguish the fire. A woman suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to the hospital. It was initially unclear whether she was the resident of the affected apartment.
