At Easter pile

Early lighting went wrong: burns to the face

Two clumsy firebugs wanted to light an Easter pile in the municipality of Glanegg on Saturday night. But it didn't go according to plan ...

The two perpetrators had probably not taken the fasting commandment on Good Friday too seriously and wanted to admire an Easter bonfire early. So they tried their luck at an Easter bonfire in the municipality of Glanegg - Maria Feicht. When the alerted volunteer fire department arrived at the scene, the scene was rather pathetic. 

"In an attempt to set fire to an Easter pile, two people had to go to hospital due to burns to their faces and hands," reported the Glanegg - Maria Feicht fire brigade on Facebook. "We did not have to carry out any extinguishing measures, as the fire extinguished itself."
