Vulpera: Wood scales on hotel areas on flames - total damage!

on Whit Monday, June 9, 2025, a severe fire occurred in Vulpera, a district of the municipality of Scuol in Graubünden. Shortly before 6:00 a.m., the Graubünden cantonal police were informed about a wooden shed in flames. The fire had been reported by a resident who may have prevented worse, such as fireworld.at

When the fire brigade "Pumpiers Pisoc" arrived, the wooden shed was already in full fire. However, the emergency services quickly came to the fire town and were able to quickly control and extinguish the fire. Despite the rapid intervention, there was a total damage to the building and on its inventory, which included electrical golf trolleys. The scope of the damage is considerable because both the wooden scales and its content have been completely destroyed, such as the imticker.ch emphasized.

cause of the fire and investigation

The cause of the fire remains unclear and the Graubünden cantonal police have initiated fire investigations. Fortunately, people could not be harmed in the incident. Fall damage to buildings in Switzerland are an important problem. According to BFB-CIPI.CH, around 8,600 fire damage on buildings were recorded in 2023, with a total of CHF 261.7 million.

risk awareness and precautionary measures

fire incidents such as that in Vulpera illustrate the need for increased risk awareness and adequate fire protection precautions. Functioning smoke detectors could reduce the frequency of brand deaths by about 50 %. While the total number of fire victims has been reduced by 50 % in the past 20 years, preventive protection against fires and their consequences remains an important topic for the population.
