The entire fire in a horse stable or barn on the edge of Wattens has probably been cleared up. The 43-year-old tenant was working in the workshop before the fire broke out…
The fire investigation has not yet been fully completed after another hay bale caught fire on Saturday, a police spokesperson said. However, the fire brigade was able to extinguish the fire again.
It is certain that the tenant had carried out welding work in the workshop before the fire broke out – this is now probably the cause.
House uninhabitable for the time being
The flames had also spread to the adjacent farm on Friday. It was severely damaged and was initially uninhabitable. The 43-year-old and his 29-year-old wife were able to get to safety in time, but a foal and a cat died. The owners were able to save three horses.
Fire brigade confronted with a full fire
When the fire brigade arrived, the barn was already completely on fire. The flames spread to the house and hit an electricity pole, which had to be turned off. The shed and workshop burned down completely. While the fire was being extinguished, Tiroler Straße (B 171) had to be completely closed for more than two hours.
