Firefighter (19) set fires out of lovesickness – partially suspended sentence

As reported by the OÖN, a series of fires in April and May frightened residents of the communities of Goldwörth and Feldkirchen. There had already been a cluster of fires in the area in 2021. A young woman was suspected. The proceedings, which were brought against the then minor for serious damage to property, ended with a diversion.

The woman was again suspected of being involved in the series of fires this year and finally confessed on May 9. “The suspect has fully confessed and is remorseful,” says Florian Roitner from the Linz public prosecutor’s office. “She says she set the fires so she could see her ex-boyfriend again. He apparently also worked for the fire department.” The 19-year-old had hoped to see her ex-boyfriend again during the self-initiated operations.
