Shortly after 3 am, the operations center received a message that there was a fire in Buchs on Langacherweg, as police wrote.

The family could be saved
At around the same time, a resident of Aarau reported black smoke rising from a house in Metzgergasse. The fire brigade, alerted immediately, was able to extinguish the fire quickly and thus prevent it from spreading to surrounding buildings. However, there was significant material damage. The cause of the fire is not yet clear. All four residents were treated by the ambulance for suspected smoke poisoning. The family has lost everything.
Neighbors with fear
The neighbor Heinz Kurz (86) feared for his own home. “The wind was blowing exactly in our direction,” he tells MIRAR. “A shower of sparks fell on our house. I took the garden hose and sprayed on the wall and ceiling until the fire department came. “The oldest is still affected by the fire in his own house two years ago.” At that time our Christmas tree was on fire. Now I was afraid that the fire would jump on us. “
Shortly after 4 a.m., a shelter in Aarburg caught fire. Even with this fire, arson cannot be ruled out, it is said. The canton police have launched investigations into all the fires. (SDA)
