The fact that nothing more happened is thanks to attentive neighbors who discovered the flames at the rear of the theater and alerted the fire brigade, said the head of the Linz fire brigade Gerhard Krenn to ORF Upper Austria: “From the main entrance it was around 100 meters further back burned in a rehearsal room. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. Fortunately, we were alerted by the neighbors, we then smashed the large glass door in the entrance area. “
Fire under control within minutes
Two respiratory protection troops were immediately deployed, said Krenn. That’s why the fire was under control after a few minutes, said Krenn. A fire investigator is supposed to examine the building, but the police did not initially assume there was an arson attack.
