Major fire alarm on Tuesday evening in the Tyrolean Oberland: A fire broke out on a farm in Fronhausen in the municipality of Mieming (Imst district). About 150 firefighters battled the huge flames. According to police, three people were injured, including a child. Several cows died of pain.
On Tuesday evening around 7.30 pm the sirens sounded in Mieming and the surrounding area. A farm stable that was about 100 years old was on fire. “A witness who happened to be passing by on foot saw smoke rising from the farm building. The man immediately made an emergency call and the next moment the stable was completely on fire,” the police describe the dramatic scenes.
Prevents flames from spreading
A large contingent of fire brigades from the region rushed to the scene. The flames were prevented from spreading to the adjacent building. Emergency services fought the fire for hours. This was eventually brought under control and removed.
Sad outcome: three people were reportedly injured in the fire. Among them were residents of the farm – a woman and a child – and a 43-year-old neighbor. They were taken to hospital.
Twelve cattle were rescued from the stable by emergency services. Unfortunately, all help for four cows came too late and they died.
The federal highway had to be closed
The farm building burned down completely, the adjacent house and building were damaged by the heat.
The cause of the fire is currently unclear. Due to the fire, the B189 between Barwies and Nassereith had to be closed to all traffic in both directions until approximately 1am.
