The hut was completely destroyed and burned to the ground. Nearly 100 firefighters could not change that. The day after the devastating flames on the Krameralm in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, fire investigators are on the road. Arson is suspected…
It was an operation that countless firefighters from Pinzgau will not soon forget. “The journey was very difficult. It was more than two kilometers away from the site of the fire,” said district commander Klaus Portenkirchner. The Floriani had to cover the rest of the way at more than 1,500 meters above sea level with skidoos and quads.
Challenging firefighting
The fire was noticed by a skier who had seen heavy smoke from a gondola lift. When emergency services arrived, the hut was already completely engulfed in flames. The lack of water also made extinguishing the fire extremely difficult. The “fire out” could only be reported in the afternoon.
The cause of the fire remains unclear. The National Criminal Investigation Department has taken over the investigation – foul play has certainly not been ruled out, according to the police. An expert was called in on the orders of the Salzburg public prosecutor.
