Difficult operation for the St. Johann in Tirol fire brigade on Friday evening! A 19-year-old Tyrolean and two acquaintances wanted to demonstrate the fire resistance of a duvet and set it on fire. Not only the blanket caught fire, but also the bed. A 21-year-old ended up in hospital.
The 20-year-old resident was visited by two friends (19 and 21 years old) on Friday. Around 7:30 p.m., the 19-year-old wanted to test the flammability of a wool blanket with a lighter. This hung over the edge of the bed.
Not only the blanket caught fire, but also the bed. The 21-year-old resident was able to successfully fight the fire with a fire extinguisher, but had to be taken to the St. Johann in Tirol district hospital with suspected smoke poisoning.
Neighbor raised the alarm
A neighbor saw the fire from his balcony and alerted the emergency services. The fire brigade carried out extinguishing work and ventilated the house. In addition to the 44 Florianis, the rescue service and the police were also present.
