Fire disaster through candle: two families saved at the last minute!
In the night of Thursday, around 4:00 a.m., there was a devastating fire in an apartment building in Feistritz/Drau. Investigations by the police and an expert expert showed that the flames were most likely sparked by improper use of a candle. Other sources of ignition could not be identified at the time of the survey. During the fire, the tenants of an apartment on the first floor, a 38-year-old couple, were injured, but were able to flee from the building without help. A family living in the basement with three people remained unharmed and also independently saved himself from the danger zone, as the Austrian radio reported.
The complexity of the fire causes of fire
The determination of the cause of the fire is a complex, forensic procedure based on the scientific analysis of traces secured at the site of the fire. The aim is to reconstruct the exact process and the cause of the fire. Investigators must consider various causes of fire, with technical, natural and human causes in focus. These tasks are to be distinguished from other areas such as fire protection and fire fighting, as explained on wikipedia . In the event of larger fire events, the investigation plays a decisive role in deriving preventive measures for the future.
The expertise of the cause of the fire has far -reaching effects - both in criminal and civil context. In the event of a proven misconduct, for example due to arson, the consequences for those responsible can be serious, while in civil law the insurance claims often depend on the results of the investigation. In particular, the evaluation of the traces is crucial, since both technical knowledge and the ability to form hypothesis are required. It is important to systematically document all information and not reject traces that do not fit into the original hypothesis in order to avoid failure.
