Fire in Upper Austrian Asylum Accommodation

On the night of Tuesday, the fire department was called to a social facility for asylum seekers in Wels. Blankets and pillows were burning in a cupboard in the stairwell. When the emergency services arrived, a person had already extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher, and all residents were safely outside and uninjured. Someone, presumably from the facility, is believed to have set the blankets in the cupboard on fire, the police reported. However, investigations were still ongoing.
