Cigarette as the cause
Major operation: Sports center was on fire!
A fire broke out at a sports center in Kindberg in Upper Styria (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district) on Thursday night. Part of the facility was badly damaged. The cause of the fire has now been determined: a smoldering cigarette.
At around 11.30 pm, the emergency services were called to a burning tennis hall at the Kindbergdörfl sports center. Members of the local fire department were deployed with heavy breathing apparatus and parts of the façade had to be opened up.
When the police arrived, only a small part of the outer façade was still on fire and the fire was quickly brought under control. The tennis hall was then ventilated and the scene was checked for further embers using thermal imaging cameras.
No casualties
There are several tennis courts and a tennis hall with a small café at the site. According to the Styrian Police Headquarters, no persons were injured and the exact amount of damage is not yet known.
By midday on Thursday, the cause of the fire had already been established: the investigation revealed that a cigarette in a dustbin near the terrace had probably started the fire.
