Sauna in Carinthian Hotel Went Up in Flames

The fire broke out in a sauna. The fire alarm system was triggered, upon which the hotel operator and two of his guests started initial attempts to extinguish the fire with handheld fire extinguishers in the already heavily smoke-filled fire area. Several fire department breathing apparatus teams finally extinguished the fire. In total, 92 emergency personnel were deployed, and the Red Cross was present with three vehicles.

All hotel guests were able to leave the building on their own. A few hours after the outbreak of the fire, they were allowed to return to their rooms. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. The amount of damage is also not yet determined.
