“It is certainly not a coincidence”, is the tenor of the population. Exactly one week after the fire in an old laundry room, this time the national youth carnival car went up in flames. There is concern in the village, now intensive thinking about countermeasures and hoping for clues.
Kundl and its mysterious fires – this story seems to go on and on. And again, the population is worried, in the village at the moment almost only this topic of conversation is known.
A look back: In 2012 and 2018, arson sparked extensive investigations without ever catching a firecracker. After a long pause, when last February 8: An old laundry room was on fire, at about 3:10 a.m. a resident raised the alarm. Conclusion of the investigation: The fire may have been deliberately lit.
The car was at home with the national youth chairman
On Wednesday around 2:25 a.m. the siren sounded again: the carnival wagon of the Kundler farm youths suddenly caught fire. It was parked in a yard on Dr.-Franz-Stumpf-Strasse, just a few hundred yards from the washroom. It is the parental property of Landjugendobmann Sebastian Eberl, who describes the “Tiroler Krone”: “I saw the bright light and then extinguished it with the fire comrades.” A roof was already scorched by the heat: “Five minutes later and it would have become too dangerous for the neighboring farm.”
The fire ruined weeks of preparation for the big carnival parade on Sunday. On the Facebook page, the rural youth writes in the morning: “We have no words for …” But they do not want to award the alleged arsonist a “victory”: “We stick together, build another car. Like most Kundler, the youth chairman is of the country is also convinced: “That is certainly no coincidence.”
Comparable night period of the two cases
This is also confirmed by Kundl Police Chief and Fire Service Investigator Josef Rohregger. In the two most recent fires, someone probably “helped”: “There were music boxes in the float, but there was still no electricity, so a technical cause is unlikely.” the cases is striking.
Rohregger asks the population to report suspicious sightings. The detective and mayor Anton Hoflacher are already involved and further measures will now be discussed.
