17 fire brigades were deployed, and a total of around 180 firefighters will be on duty until the day, it said. The fire broke out around 1 a.m. in the cattle shed on the farm. The cause of the fire is still unclear, but the reason could have been a lightning strike. There were problems because of the water shortage at this location: extinguishing water had to be procured from a pond further away. “We were always afraid that something would happen there and unfortunately it has now happened,” he said Chief fire inspector Helmut Sandmeier from the FF Stroheim. The roof truss of the barn burned down almost completely and it was not possible to prevent the fire from spreading to the residential building next door. Fortunately nobody was injured, all cows were brought to safety in time.
