Stinatz, Österreich - On June 1, 2025, a devastating major fire occurred in Stinatz, in the Güssing district in Burgenland, which almost completely destroyed a listed home house and two other historical buildings of the ensemble. According to [5min.at] (https://www.5min.at/5202506020912/170-florianis-im- Use-Grossbrand-Zerstoert-Demal-Schutzt-haus/) the fire broke out during a thunderstorm, presumably with a lightning strike.
A total of nine fire brigades with over 170 members were deployed to fight the flames. The extinguishing work was made more difficult by strong sparks, which caused two fire engines. However, these could be deleted quickly. The assignment lasted around four hours, in which the emergency services managed to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent buildings and the fire station.

The destruction varies, the scope of damage is considered considerably and is currently hardly estimated. A little ray of hope in this difficult situation was the rescue of several dolls in original stingatzers, which now have an important cultural importance. The police have now started the fire investigation to gain more detailed knowledge about the cause of the fire.
The situation illustrates the challenges that fire brigade is in front of such operations and draws attention to the urgency of fire protection measures. According to burgenland.orf.at, the event in the region is still being followed carefully, since it is not only about the material damage, but also about the loss of cultural heritage.
