An entire room in Thal was on fire on Saturday night. 62 firefighters had to be deployed and were kept busy until the early hours of the morning. A 51-year-old man and his 17-year-old child were taken to Graz Regional Hospital with suspected smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is still unclear.

In the middle of the night on Saturday, a fire broke out on the upper floor of a residential building in Thal. Shortly after midnight, the residents were shocked to discover that an entire room was on fire. Fortunately, they were able to get outside quickly enough and alert the emergency services.
