After a lightning strike:
Lustenau mortician becomes a lifesaver
Nick Mussbacher heard two extreme lightning strikes late on Friday afternoon. The Lustenau man, who is a mortician by profession and works for the fire department in his spare time, joined neighbors to see what was going on. Not only was the strike noticed in time, but also a hidden fire.
The light smoke on the roof of the neighboring house seemed suspicious to Nick Mussbacher. "At first I thought the smoke might be coming from a heater," says the Lustenau firefighter. But as more and more smoke rose, he rejected the heating theory and ran to the neighboring house.
The occupants of the house were brought to safety in time and unharmed. The firefighters were notified at the same time and took care of everything else.
The fire was barely visible and had apparently spread between the roof tiles after being struck by lightning, the emergency services reported shortly afterwards. The swift action of the mortician and his colleagues prevented greater damage. The residents were able to return to their homes after the extinguishing work was completed.
