Major fire department operation
Boys puddled petrol: house burnt down completely
Three young boys between the ages of 12 and 17 wanted to mix petrol with two-stroke engine oil for their motocross bikes in their workshop in Carinthia. But suddenly the mixture ignited.
The sirens were wailing in the Lower Drau Valley at around 5 pm on Tuesday. The scene was a workshop in the municipality of Stockenboi. Three young lads wanted to mix fuel from 20 liters of petrol and two-stroke engine oil for their motocross bikes, which were also in the workshop. "For unknown reasons, the mixture suddenly ignited," reported the police. "A full fire broke out in the workshop and spread to the nearby house."
Fire developed enormous heat
The boys tried to fight the fire with a small fire extinguisher, but failed. The fire departments from the surrounding area (Feistritz/Drau, Ferndorf, Kreuzen, Olsach-Molzbichl, Paternion, Pöllan and Stockenboi) were deployed with 85 firefighters and eleven vehicles to fight the flaming inferno.
"When the first vehicles arrived, the outbuilding was already fully engulfed in flames," said the Feistritz fire brigade, describing the situation. "The enormous heat caused the fire to spread to the roof truss of the residential building, which was also fully engulfed in flames within a very short time."
Roof had to be covered
For this reason, additional breathing apparatus teams were alerted. While the water supply was secured from the Tiboldbach stream flowing past, the firefighters battled the fire - unfortunately, they didn't stand a chance. "The outbuilding burned to the ground, the roof truss of the residential building had to be laboriously opened and then removed using a crane from a timber company," explained the Feistritz fire brigade.
While the firefighters from Paternion were still carrying out extinguishing work, there was still no information about the cause. "The exact cause of the fire is being investigated by specialists from the State Office of Criminal Investigation," said the police. Fortunately, the three boys were unharmed.
