Hay barn in flames: Was it arson?
A fire alarm sounded late on Sunday evening in East Tyrol: a hay barn suddenly went up in flames in the municipality of Ainet. The owner tried to extinguish the fire - but to no avail. The cause is still unclear. However, arson cannot be ruled out.
The fire broke out shortly after 10 pm in the Alkus district. "Neighboring residents noticed the smell of burning and noticed smoke in the area of the hay barn about 15 meters from the house," reported the police.
Owner's attempt to extinguish the fire failed
The owner tried to bring the fire under control with a fire extinguisher and put it out. But without success.
Only the fire department, who had been alerted, were finally able to extinguish the fire. No one was injured. The amount of damage caused cannot yet be quantified.
"Arson cannot be ruled out"
"Based on the investigations into the cause of the fire so far, arson cannot be ruled out", the executive concluded.
