16-year-old from Carinthia
Room fire accidentally started with a lighter
On Monday night, five fire departments were called out to a densely populated residential area in Völkermarkt - an apartment building was on fire because a 16-year-old was apparently handling a lighter.
When the emergency services arrived at the apartment building in the Ritzing district at around 9 p.m. on Sunday, the room on the second floor was already ablaze. Several breathing apparatus teams fought the fire, the helpers even rescued a dog that was still locked in a room of the burning building.
Managed to escape from the window in time
The fire broke out in the room of the 16-year-old son because, according to initial information, he was handling a lighter. The teenager managed to escape from the window onto the terrace just in time. "He injured his hand trying to put out the fire," said a firefighter.
Because the firefighters were able to bring the fire under control, it was mainly the upper floor of the house that was damaged - but the damage is still likely to be extensive.
