Technology disaster: Sauna temperatures let Vorarlberg Haus burn!

A dramatic event occurred on Saturday afternoon in the municipality of Sankt Gerold in the Großwalsertal when a homeowner wanted to preheat his new sauna using an app. What started as a harmless project ended in a devastating fire. Due to a technical defect in the sauna, the temperature increased uncontrollably, which ultimately led to the sauna opened in flames. The owner had not expected this unexpected twist, and just a few minutes after the kick -off the entire house was on fire, as the Krone reported.

Fortunately, an attentive neighbor noticed the rising smoke swaths around 3:30 p.m. and immediately alerted the fire brigade. When the emergency services arrived, the fire had already spread well above the first floor. Thanks to the rapid intervention of around 130 firefighters from surrounding communities, the fire was quickly brought under control. However, the damage to property was considerable, and the house, which shines in new splendor, was badly damaged. A fireman had to be brought to the Landeskrankenhaus Bludenz because of a possible flue gas poisoning, but fortunately people and animals remained intact, as vorarlberg.orf reported.

This alarming Situation illustrates the risks of modern technologies that can have fatal consequences when using improper use. Die Feuerwehren der Gemeinden Raggal, Bludenz, Fontanella, Sonntag, Thüringerberg, Blons und St. Gerold waren mobilisiert, um die Flammen zu löschen und den Schaden zu begrenzen. A real example of how quickly a serious misfortune can arise from a simple wish.
