Extremely flying sparks on Holy Saturday: Near Wildon Swimming Lake, an Easter fire spiraled out of control and set the forest floor on fire. Actually, the fire wouldn’t have been allowed…
On the night of Easter Sunday, only one community fire should have been lit in the community of Wildon. However, someone did not follow the rules and lit his own Easter fire in a wooded area. With consequences: Due to the strong gusts of wind, things got out of hand and there were extremely flying sparks. Several emergency calls have been made.
100 m² was on fire
25 firefighters then tried to extinguish the fire on about 100 square meters: after an hour and a half they finally succeeded. Fortunately there were no injuries. Most of the pasture has burned down, so only a few trees have been damaged.
Sparks jumped elsewhere too
Unfortunately, the strong gusts of wind led to further operations on Holy Saturday: In Oberwölz (Murau district) there was also a risk that an Easter fire would ignite the forest, in Frohnleiten there was a fire in the surrounding trees. In Hartberg, in the Eggendorf district, an Easter fire threatened to spread to a woodpile.
