After the fire in an empty family home in Schwertberg in Upper Austria on February 12, two children (aged ten and eight) have now been identified as the cause. They lit leaves next to the house with a lighter and the flames spread to the building.
The two children had started the fire next to the empty house in Schwertberg and set fire to leaves with a lighter. As soon as the leaves started to burn, the boys tried to put out the fire by stepping out of the pile of leaves, but they couldn’t. The flames spread to the house.
Old timer burnt out
It is thanks to neighbors that nothing more happened. They noticed a strong development of smoke and immediately raised the alarm. The emergency services were able to prevent major damage to the building by quickly extinguishing the fire. However, a vintage car parked in the garage completely burned out. The lover’s car could not be saved.
