Howling sirens around Lake Wörthersee on Thursday evening: emergency services from the professional fire department and other local fire departments were deployed to the Maiernigg lido, where a boat hut was on fire.

"The dark column of smoke was probably around 40 to 50 meters high," an eyewitness told the "Krone" newspaper. Hotel guests are said to have noticed the fire in the boathouse on the southern shore of Lake Wörthersee and raised the alarm.

"The flames were very high, you could smell the smoke even in the east bay," another eyewitness told the Krone. The Florianis tried to fight the meter-high flames from the water with the fire boat - the all-clear was given at around 9 p.m.; the fire was brought under control. And this despite the fact that the operation proved to be extremely difficult: Only a narrow jetty could be used for the extinguishing efforts.

Hut burnt to the ground
Nevertheless, the wooden hut burned down completely, but the boat could still be saved. In order to protect Lake Wörthersee, the fire department set up an oil barrier, according to reports. The state chemist will carry out more detailed investigations. There were no injuries in the fire.
