Search for Feuerteufel – Thujen hedges were on fire again in Klagenfurt

Date:

Just like in the afternoon, in the night from Monday to Tuesday, thujenhagen were on fire in Klagenfurt. Again, police suspected arson.

Flames lit up the night sky over Klagenfurt as thuja hedges burned down near two single-family homes shortly before midnight on Monday. Both times the fire was quickly extinguished by the professional fire brigade. “Nevertheless, in the second house, almost five meters of the hedge has been damaged.”

The police immediately launched a manhunt with several police patrols and a dog patrol, which ended in a draw. In the afternoon, children saw how a fire demon set fire to thuja hedges with a lighter. Due to the current drought, the risk of fire is particularly high. Further investigations are underway.

The fire department had to be called in due to a faulty heating system
Around 7:30 p.m. on Monday night, heavy smoke was also reported in a residential building in St. Veit, spreading throughout the property. “The fire brigade has determined a faulty wood chip heating as the cause of the fire,” the police said.

A faulty auger component may have transported too much fuel into the combustion chamber of the stove. “The pressure caused the furnace lid to open, resulting in heavy smoke,” the officials said. There was damage, but no one was injured.
