Farm in Schlitterberg Lichterloh on flames - a person injured!
in the Tyrolean Zillertal, more precisely in the Schlitterberg district, there was a devastating major fire on a farm on Monday evening. All hands were fully employed when the firefighters from Schlitters and surrounding communities were alerted around 6 p.m. The flames hit the farm building meter high and spread quickly across the entire property, including the house. The cause of the fire has so far been unclear, but the sight of the blazing flames deeply shocked the residents, as krone.at reported.
The extinguishing work dragged on for several hours, with numerous firefighters from Schlitters, Strass, Buch, Jenbach, Uderns and Schwaz. A man was injured and had to be flown to the hospital with the emergency medical helicopter Heli 4. A police spokesman confirmed that several animals were killed in the flames, which still tightened the already dramatic situation. While the firefighters fought around every minute, the exact cause of the fire remained a mystery, such as OE24 reported.
