In the early hours of the morning on Sunday, the Hohenems fire department had to attend a fire at the Herrenried secondary school. Unknown persons had set fire to a waste paper container there and started a second fire. 

The firefighters quickly extinguished both fires and expressed their displeasure via Facebook. "It's sad that there are such stupid people who have to cause such unnecessary damage and danger out of sheer boredom!"

Mayor Dieter Egger added: "Sometimes you really doubt the sanity of some fellow citizens... and firefighters have to go into action at night and the general public bears the cost of the damage."
