A traditional inn in the district of Grieskirchen was completely destroyed in just one night: a fire raged throughout the building and 200 firefighters battled the flames. The police have now been able to determine the cause: A 20-year-old is said to have set the pub on fire.

A paper container had already been set on fire at the pub on May 26. At that time, the fire department was able to quickly bring the flames under control and prevent major damage.

Several weeks later, on August 1, there was another fire at the pub in the Hausruckviertel: first the carport was in flames, then the fire spread through the roof truss to the entire building. A total of 200 firefighters from 17 fire departments battled the inferno of flames, and the family of the pub was able to escape from the living area of the building just in time.

20-year-old arsonist confesses
It is now clear that the two fires were set. This was announced by the police. A 20-year-old from the district of Grieskirchen is said to be the igniter in both cases - he has already confessed.

The young man was arrested on August 9 and transferred to Wels prison. He has since been released again subject to court conditions. He was reported to the public prosecutor's office on suspicion of attempted arson, arson and endangering physical safety. There is no information yet on the 20-year-old's motive.
