Fire in Langenwang
Candle forgotten: Entire house in flames
An 81-year-old man from Langenwang in Styria forgot a burning candle in his conservatory on Sunday evening. When he woke up, the house was already on fire.
According to the police, the man had lit a candle in the conservatory of his house in Langenwang (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district) on the third Sunday in Advent. The man, who lives alone, then seems to have gone to sleep in the adjoining room and forgotten about the candle.
Heavy smoke woke the 81-year-old a short time later. The living room was already on fire and the man was unable to extinguish it himself. The flames quickly spread to the entire house. The fire department received the emergency call shortly after half past eleven.
