Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Countless firefighters were deployed on Saturday evening when a vacation home in Auffach caught fire. The building, which was difficult for the emergency services to access, caught fire at around 8.45 pm.
At the time the fire broke out, a German couple (both 84 years old) were in the building. A neighbor had discovered the fire and called the emergency services.
Despite the large-scale deployment of the fire department, "the building could no longer be saved", the police said at the time. The 84-year-old German man had to go to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation, and a firefighter suffered a serious injury to his ankle while extinguishing the fire.
Days after the accident, the cause of the fire should now be known. "According to investigations by the district fire investigator, the fire was probably started by a Christmas tree candle", the police say.
