Roofing fire in Kappl: Extensive rescue operation without injuries

Kappl, Österreich - on December 29, 2024, around 10:48 p.m., a fire broke out in a holiday home in Kappl, Tyrol. The fire brigades from the surrounding area were immediately alerted: a total of around 200 firefighters from the municipalities, Kappl, Ischgl, Tobadill and Landeck were on site to fight the fire. Interestingly, it was not a conventional roof truss fire, as initially suspected, but the fire had limited itself to the interior of the building, accompanied by heavy smoke. Fortunately, there were no people in the house at the time of the outbreak, so that injuries could be avoided, as reported by both Meinziert.at and fireworld.at.
