There was a fire alarm at the Haus für Mozart in Salzburg's festival district on Thursday afternoon. The professional fire department was on the scene immediately. A small smouldering fire in the area of a ventilation shaft was quickly extinguished. 

A fire alarm triggered the alarm at Hofstallgasse 1. The Salzburg professional fire department was alerted and immediately began to investigate the building. The smell of burning was also detected and a fire was discovered in an external shaft. "The smell then spread through cable ducts," says head of operations Werner Kloiber.
