Major fire at Rottenstein prison in Carinthia
Countless emergency services were deployed to the outpost of the Klagenfurt prison on Tuesday morning - the column of smoke can be seen from afar! 50 animals were rescued, hay and straw in the barn made firefighting difficult.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Up to 50 prisoners can be housed in the Rottenstein correctional facility (JA) - it is a branch of the Klagenfurt JA, where prisoners serve a relaxed sentence and carry out agricultural activities. On Tuesday, a fire broke out on the premises in St. Georgen am Längsee, which was noticed and reported by an inmate. The barn, which contained 50 head of cattle, had started to burn. Prison staff were able to rescue the animals in time.
Ten fire departments from all over the district - 105 firefighters in total - arrived to fight the fire. "The animals that were housed in the barn were saved - and none of the 44 occupants were injured," said police spokeswoman Waltraud Dullnigg. "The animals are being housed on neighboring farms!"
The State Office of Criminal Investigation is on site to take up the investigation - the forensic service is coming from Vienna. "Because there is so much straw and hay in the building, it is being burned down in a controlled manner," says Friedrich Monai, district fire brigade commander. The fire had broken out in the upper area and the roof truss had burned down completely. "However, the building could possibly be saved". A drone is being used to search for possible sources of the fire. The bales of straw and hay are to be removed from the burnt barn using a crane - the Florianis still have hours of work ahead of them!
