Die Polizei
As the building is located in a remote area that is difficult to access, the house was already fully engulfed in flames when the fire department arrived. "Despite extensive firefighting efforts, the building could not be saved", the police said.
The 84-year-old German man had to be taken to hospital in Kufstein by ambulance with suspected smoke inhalation. Fortunately, his wife remained unharmed. During the extinguishing work, a firefighter also suffered a serious injury to his ankle.
Further investigations are underway
The amount of damage caused is still unclear. The cause of the fire is also still being investigated. Further investigations will begin on Sunday. Firefighters from Auffach, Mühltal, Oberau, Niederau and Wörgl as well as the ambulance service and the police were deployed.
