Fire alarm in Hohenems
Apartment completely destroyed by fire
A couple from Hohenems (Vorarlberg) had a nasty surprise on Christmas Day. When the couple were out of the house, their apartment burned down completely. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen At 1.40 pm, a fire alarm was triggered in a block of flats in Schubertstraße in Hohenems. When a police patrol arrived, thick clouds of smoke were billowing out of an apartment on the third floor. Several residents had already escaped outside at this point.
However, not all of them: the emergency services from the Hohenems and Altach fire departments were alerted and subsequently rescued a man from the fourth floor using the turntable ladder.
Fire was quickly extinguished
Although the fire was extinguished within a few minutes, the apartment itself could no longer be saved. The material damage is considerable and the restoration work will probably take several weeks. The couple living in the apartment, who were out of the house at the time of the fire, were taken in by relatives.
The cause of the fire is still a mystery; the Hohenems police department has begun investigations.
