An elderly homeowner was very lucky on Friday evening in the municipality of Hard on Lake Constance. After a fireplace was lit, dense clouds of smoke formed. Fortunately, he was able to inform his son in time.
The 96-year-old had turned on his tiled stove around 5 p.m. and around 7:40 p.m. he noticed the smell of smoke. The man immediately informed his son, who lives in the immediate area. When he entered the bungalow, smoke was already pouring from the bedroom and there was also a crackling sound in the partitions. De Filius first got his father to safety and called the fire brigade. He then started working with a fire extinguisher himself – but without much success.
The local Hard fire brigade ultimately needed an hour to extinguish the object; It was only at 8.48 pm that the fire could be declared out. The electricity grid was also disconnected during the fire-fighting activities; The electricity grid was switched back on around 9.45 pm. Property damage is likely to be significant and the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.
