Art University fire again
Fire on Linz’s main square: Art University on fire again
A fire broke out at the University of Art on Linz's main square early on Monday morning, leaving parts of the city briefly without power - again. A fire had already broken out there on Friday night, causing a power cut in large parts of the old town.
The Linz professional fire department was alerted shortly after 6 a.m. on Monday: A fire had broken out in the University of Art on Hauptplatz. Black clouds of smoke were billowing out of a window on the first floor of the left-hand bridgehead building as seen from Urfahr.
According to the University of Art, the fire once again broke out in the transformer room in the area of a cable. As a result, the affected power grid had to be disconnected, leaving parts of Landstraße, the old town and the Urfahr district without power for a short time in the early hours of the morning.
"The power failure occurred shortly before half past six," Linz AG told the Krone. And further: "Less than half an hour later, everyone was supplied again". However, most of the affected systems were restored much more quickly. It is still unclear how many households and businesses were temporarily without power.
Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries caused by the fire on Monday morning.
Fire only three days ago
Just a few days ago, on Friday night, the sirens were blaring due to a fire at the University of Art and Design. A high-voltage system in the second basement had reportedly started to burn.
"Due to the fire in the high-voltage area, a large part of the old town center had to be disconnected from the power grid. By de-energizing the affected power grid, it was possible to efficiently prevent the fire from spreading," said the Linz professional fire department. Around 1600 customer installations were affected.
