Kripo researchers want to clarify the source of ignition source on Friday evening of the fittings manufacturer Maco. But the circumstances and the serious damage in the production hall make it difficult to look for traces.
Only since Saturday afternoon, more than 24 hours after the “fire”, the researchers of the state criminal police station, who are specially trained for fires, can do their work and according to the cause of the big fire in the Maco Company. The reason is the poorly damaged hall. Due to the risk of collapse, entering the production rooms was not yet possible.
It was only on Saturday that a structural engineer released parts of the hall: “In the area where the LKA colleagues suspect the cause,” explains Stefan Karner from the Police Press Office. However, the experts must refrain from a helping nose – a service dog cannot be used because of the chemicals that have come. A brand expert from the Federal Criminal Police Office supports the research.
While the police are looking for the cause, the clean -up work continues: as reported, about 60,000 liters of acid occurred in the course of the fire – It is all about nitric acid and hydrochloric acid in detail. A special company was commissioned because of the chemicals. According to the magistrate, acid also reached the soil and the sewer system. It was to be expected for weeks or months of excavator and outlet, it was said that it was the “crown”.
The amount of the total damage cannot yet be estimated – but an insured event in the millions can be expected. The consequences for the employees involved are still unclear. The Maco company only said that “processes and processes” are “planned” at other locations. The Salzburg room of Labor has set up its own hotline for the many Macac employees.
