Children evacuated
Seven injured in fire caused by arson
On Saturday evening, a 43-year-old resident noticed that there was a fire in the basement of an apartment building in the center of Linz. As the stairwell was already heavily filled with smoke, the fire department had to rescue several residents - including several children - using the turntable ladder.
When the firefighters arrived at the scene of the accident, the stairwell was already very smoky. Several residents - including several children - were unable to escape and had to be rescued using the turntable ladder. They were temporarily accommodated in a nearby hotel.
Investigation underway
17 people had to be treated by the emergency services, seven of whom were taken to nearby hospitals with mild smoke inhalation. The police assume that the fire had been started. The investigation is ongoing.
