Fire alarm scare at women's basketball World Cup team hotel
Teams competing at the women's basketball World Cup in Berlin had a scare in the early hours of Sunday when the fire alarm went off at their hotel. The alarm went off shortly after 2 am (0000 GMT) and all teams had to wait in the street until the all-clear was given.
The fire alarm went off at the hotel of teams competing in the women's basketball World Cup in Berlin early Sunday morning, causing a brief scare among the athletes. The alarm was set off around 2 am (0000 GMT), prompting all teams to wait in the street until the all-clear was given. They were then allowed to return to their rooms at around 3 am.
However, it is worth noting that the United States team, led by several WNBA stars including Caitlin Clark, had arranged their own accommodation, thus avoiding the incident. All participating teams, except for the favored U.S. team, were staying at the same hotel.
