Investigation underway
Cigarette set fire to an apartment in Leibnitz
A burning cigarette was probably the cause of a fire in an apartment in Leibnitz on Friday afternoon. Three people were able to escape from the building, two of whom were taken to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation.
It was around 14.30 on Friday afternoon when residents noticed black smoke coming from a house in Leibnitz. Arriving at the scene, the picture was confirmed - firefighters immediately began extinguishing the fire.
Suspected smoke inhalation
Three people were in the apartment when the fire ignited and they were barely able to escape from the building on their own. Two of the three presumably suffered smoke inhalation. They were taken to the LKH Wagna.
Investigations were started
It was only thanks to the quick and effective work of the firefighters that the fire was prevented from spreading to other floors. According to initial investigations, a lit cigarette may have started the fire. However, the Styrian police are not yet certain.
