In Westendorf in the Tyrolean Unterland, a farm went up in flames on Saturday afternoon. The fire broke out in the area of the Tenne and caused major damage. In the evening the assignment was still running, and fire could not be given for the time being. The human and animal dwellers of the building got away with the horror.
The fire broke out on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. In the tenne of the farm in Westendorf (Tyrolean district of Kitzbühel). The flames quickly reached the stable and the roof of the connected house. Fortunately, all residents could save themselves, all animals could also be liberated, according to District Fire Brigade commander Andreas Scholl.
Seven fire brigades moved from the surrounding area, in total around 180 people were deployed. Even the early Saturday evening could not be set on fire, as described: “The fire is under control, but it will take longer.” A fireman was somewhat injured in the leg.
Major damage, the cause of the fire is still unclear
Even before the fire could be removed, it was possible to estimate that the damage to the building should be considerable: “The Tenne and the stable were completely damaged, just like the roof of the living room,” said Scholl. The building will probably not be habitable for the time being.
The cause of the fire was initially still unclear, fire researchers from the police were already on the spot on Saturday.
