Fire in apartment building
Senior citizen and carer now staying with friends after fire
Fire alarm on Monday afternoon in Kals in East Tyrol: a fire broke out in the house of a pensioner (75). The woman in need of care and her carer were able to escape outside and remained unharmed. The building is currently uninhabitable - the duo stayed with friends.
The fire broke out in the detached house at around 1.30 pm. "At this time, the 75-year-old resident and her 32-year-old caregiver were in the building," said the police.
The fire was most likely caused by a heat build-up in the kitchen heating system.
