The homeowner sounded the alarm around 12 p.m. An outbuilding threatened to go up in flames. Although the grill had been outside for a day and was only then brought inside, the charcoal may have started to smoke again, resulting in a heavy build up of smoke. “Since we initially had to assume a fire, the Gattersdorf, St. Margarethen ob Töllerberg, Völkermarkt and St. Stefan fire brigades were alerted,” reported commander Horst Sneditz from the Gattersdorf fire department.
