Dozens of emergency services on the spot

Dozens of emergency services of the Brigades Ötztal-Bahnhof fire brigade, haiming, haimingerberg, Silz, Sautens, Roppen and Imst then fought against the flames. Due to rapid intervention, spreading the fire to neighboring buildings in this densely populated district can be prevented.
The cause of the fire is certain
The cause of the fire has probably been clarified. “According to the previous state of investigation, the 85-year-old resident did work with a corner mill in the basement of the house.

House for now uninhabitable
