After the big fire in East Tyrol on Monday night, in which a farm in Oberlienz burned to the ground and more than 50 animals died, the police were able to clarify the possible cause.
Accordingly, “with a high degree of probability a technical malfunction” should have caused the nightly inferno of flames. “The on-site investigation into the cause of the fire showed that the fire started in the northern storage room on the ground floor and then spread to the two floors above and the roof structure,” the management reports on Tuesday afternoon.
Farmer awakened by noise
Shortly after midnight, the 43-year-old farmer was awakened by “cracking noises”. When he checked things out, he saw that the farm building on the west side of the farm was completely engulfed in flames! The farmer immediately made an emergency call and then brought his family to safety.
Dozens of animals perished in a flaming hell
Subsequently, a fire department alarm was activated for the Lienz district. Nearly 300 Florianis fought against the huge conflagration. Some animals could still be brought to safety. However, 31 cows and more than 20 chickens died.
