Shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday evening, the fire brigade received the alarm – a residential building in Grossarl is on fire, alarm level 3! The volunteer fire brigades of the communities of Großarl, Hüttschlag and St.Johann im Pongau fought the fire.
The residential building on the hillside of the Großarltal caught fire around 8 p.m. Around 120 Floriani fought against the flames. Among other things, a special crane had to be organized for the complex extinguishing work due to the hillside location. The building on the Grossarl municipal area is a little off the center of town, between the communities of Grossarl and Hüttschlag. No injuries, cause of fire unclear Due to the strong foehn storm, the fire threatened to spread to a neighboring house. However, this could be protected from the flames because the wind turned. The house could no longer be saved. Since the residents were not at home when the fire broke out, no one was injured. The extent of the damage and the cause of the fire are still unknown.
