Fire investigators are currently probing the origin of the middle school blaze
A fire broke out at Premstätten Middle School early Sunday morning, at around 5:15 AM. Upon arrival, emergency services confirmed that rooms in the school were on fire. The fire was triggered by the school's fire alarm system.
Police arson investigators, along with experts from the state fire prevention office, were swiftly dispatched to the scene to conduct a comprehensive trace collection and investigate the cause of the fire. The firefighters from Unterpremstätten and Zettling were able to report "fire out" shortly after 6:15 AM.
Investigations are currently focusing on several potential points of origin on the first floor of the school building. Multiple traces were secured during the investigation and are now being analyzed by criminal technicians.
The property damage from the fire is substantial and is estimated to be several hundred thousand euros. It's important to note that no one was injured in the incident.
As of August 26, 2025, there is no new information regarding the property damage estimate or the absence of injuries. The timeline for a result from the investigation is currently unknown. The possibility of arson cannot be ruled out at this point in the investigation.
Further information and details about the investigation cannot be published for tactical reasons. The construction site ongoing at Premstätten Middle School may have played a role in the spread of the fire, but this is still under investigation.
