Tragic fire in Goldegg: one person is killed

A tragic situation occurred on Thursday in Goldegg, a picturesque place in the Salzburg Pongau, where a person lost their lives in the fire of an alpine hut. The hut, which was completely made of wood, was on fire when the fire brigade arrived. Despite the rapid alarm of six fire departments from the surrounding area, the emergency services were only able to watch the building burned down completely.

The fire brigade discovered the body after combating the fire in the badly damaged hut. Nothing is currently known about the identity of the person and the exact cause of death. The Salzburg State Police Directorate announced that the public prosecutor ordered an autopsy to clarify these questions. A spokesman for the police headquarters confirmed that it was a private alpine hut, but the circumstances of the fire are still uncertain.

The fire was found in the early afternoon, but due to the remote location of the hut, the extinguishing campaign was a real challenge. The fire brigade had to lay a long water pipe to add sufficiently extinguishing water, which extended the time. Despite the efforts, the fire was so intense that only sooty remains of the hut remained.

On Friday morning, no definitive explanation of the cause of the fire had been found on Friday morning. Investigators are still busy collecting information or evidence in order to clarify how this devastating event could come about. The exact identity of the deceased person is informed by the upcoming autopsy, but the authority is currently holding back with further information.
