Mayor rages – lack of fire protection: refugee home evacuated

On Tuesday, 80 asylum seekers were taken from their rooms because their accommodation in Spital am Semmering did not meet fire safety requirements. The mayor is surprised by this.

Due to fire safety concerns, 80 refugees had to quickly leave their accommodation in Spital am Semmering on Tuesday. The evacuation was ordered a month ago, and now the deadline set by the Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district administration has expired. In November 2023, the municipality discovered several security gaps that could pose a danger to residents. Mayor wants to defend herself against the decision Mayor Maria Fischer (SPÖ) was surprised by the eviction. Some measures had already been taken and she would have expected a fine instead. Together with the operator, she now wants to defend herself against the decision and is calling in lawyers. The asylum seekers, including children, are now being accommodated in Traiskirchen and Carinthia.
