On Friday afternoon a major operation took place near Maurach am Achensee in the Tyrolean district of Schwaz! According to the police, a fire broke out in the snack bar “Buchauer Alm” around 4:15 p.m. Within a very short time the building was completely on fire. The tenant (34) suffered burns while trying to extinguish the fire.
According to witness statements, the fire broke out in the kitchen and then spread through the chimney to the roof of the house. “When the fire broke out, there were about twenty people in the restaurant, but they immediately left the building,” the police said. The tenant of the alm, a 34-year-old resident, was injured in the hand when he tried to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher and was treated as an outpatient by the emergency services.
Difficult access for emergency services
The arrival of the emergency services was made considerably more difficult because the road there was being renovated; some of the deployed troops had to be transported to the scene of the fire by helicopter and civilian vehicles suitable for mountaineering. “Despite the quick intervention of the emergency services, the mountain meadow burned down completely.”
The Achental fire brigade with approximately 80 firefighters and 14 vehicles, the Maurach mountain rescue service with ten rescuers and two vehicles, the Schwaz rescue service with ten people and five vehicles, as well as three police patrols and two emergency helicopters.
