Copenhagen - Some 50 youths from Germany were evacuated early Wednesday after a fire broke out at a boarding school they were staying at in southern Denmark.
Police said 25 youths were taken to hospital as a precaution in case of possible smoke inhalation, but no one was reported seriously injured, Danish news agency Ritzau said.
Police were investigating the cause of the fire that appeared to have begun in a recreation room at the boarding school in Haderslev, southern Jutland. Arson was not likely, a police spokesman said.
The group were members of a youth club from the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein and had rented the school until the weekend.
