On April 7th, around 10:00 p.m., a fire broke out in an empty farm in St. Lorenz that was used as a warehouse.
An attentive neighbor and at the same time a member of the St. Lorenz fire brigade heard a loud bang from the former stable wing or hayloft at around 10:00 p.m. During the subsequent inspection, he already saw flames coming out of the roof of the courtyard and immediately alerted the emergency services via the fire alarm of the St. Lorenz fire brigade.

When the police arrived, the vacant farmhouse in the stable area was on fire. Electrical devices were stored in the stable wing or in the former hayloft. Most of these were destroyed in the fire. A hairdressing salon in the adjoining wing was also severely affected by fire-fighting water.
Defect at the forklift charging station as the cause of the fire
The most likely cause of the fire is a defect in the forklift charging station. A fire expert is dispatched to clarify the cause of the fire. An exact amount of damage cannot be given at this time, according to the police.
