Meter-high flames
Electric moped set a family home on fire
On Saturday evening in Herzogsdorf (Upper Austria), meter-high flames blazed out of a detached house that had caught fire. The owner (51) initially tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the fire himself. It was caused by the faulty battery of an electric moped.
At first, the 51-year-old tried to extinguish the fire himself - to no avail. Then the homeowner called the fire department for help at around 8.30 pm.
A total of 15 fire departments with almost 200 firefighters arrived to fight the now meter-high flames. The firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the nearby forest.
"Fire out" after three hours
After a good three hours, the fire departments were able to declare "fire out". Fortunately, no one was injured by the blaze, but the house suffered extensive damage.
The cause of the devastating fire has already been determined: the faulty battery of an electric scooter.
