Guest house burnt down
Six asylum seekers injured in accommodation fire
When the fire department arrived, flames were shooting out of the windows of the restaurant! Six asylum seekers were injured in a fire in their accommodation, a former guesthouse in Schönau im Mühlkreis (Upper Austria), at 1 a.m. on Tuesday. Ten others were able to escape unharmed. 14 fire departments were deployed.
"When we arrived, the flames were shooting out of the windows of the former restaurant of the Oberndorfer inn. The restaurant and two outbuildings were fully engulfed in flames. Six asylum seekers were injured and were taken to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation," reports Roman Pointner, commander of the Schönau im Mühlkreis fire brigade.
According to the mayor, five men had already been released by Tuesday morning. A total of 16 asylum seekers, apparently all young men, were accommodated in the old inn.
It was not until 5.15 a.m. that the fire was declared out
From 0.53 a.m., more and more fire departments from the district were alerted to the large fire, with a total of 14 fire brigades deployed. It was not until 5.15 a.m. that the fire was finally out.
Cause of the fire still unclear
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. However, the source of the fire is likely to have been in the old restaurant.
The now homeless asylum seekers were temporarily accommodated in the parish hall by the municipality. New accommodation is now being sought for the 16 refugees, as the former inn is no longer habitable.
