On Thursday afternoon, a single-family house in the Bregenzerwald was destroyed by a fire.
The residential building of a former farm in Egg was already fully engulfed in flames when the emergency services arrived, and it burned down to the ground. The homeowner was taken to Dornbirn hospital with suspected smoke inhalation, the Vorarlberg police reported.
No other people were in the house at the time of the fire, and the adjacent agricultural buildings were spared from the flames. The cause was initially unclear, and the Vorarlberg State Criminal Office is investigating. The extent of the property damage has not yet been determined. Around 150 firefighters were deployed to combat the flames.
