Large-scale fire brigade operation on Wednesday night in Innsbruck! At Viller Berg, a former and now vacant pension went up in flames. Dozens of emergency services fought for hours against the inferno. Nobody got hurt. The cause of the fire is still unclear.
The fire at the “ghost pension” broke out shortly before midnight. Two passers-by spotted the fire and immediately sounded the alarm. “The flames spread from the roof truss to other parts of the building,” the police reported. Igler Strasse was completely closed for two hours. “Due to the limited water supply in the area of the fire object, the fire brigade had to set up a shuttle service, which is why Igler Strasse had to be completely closed for about two hours,” the investigators continued.Investigations into the cause of the fireAccording to the police, no one was injured in the fire. The exact cause is currently still completely unclear. Investigations into this are ongoing. The damage caused cannot be quantified to date.
