On Saturday afternoon, the fire department in Dornbirn had to respond to a fire in an apartment building. Although no one was injured, the property damage was considerable.

The fire was caused by a faulty kettle. As no one was in the apartment at the time, the fire was only discovered when thick clouds of smoke billowed outside. The fire department first evacuated the building and then gained access to the locked apartment.

Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the damage was considerable. As the apartment is temporarily unoccupiable, the residents were provided with emergency accommodation by the town of Dornbirn.
