According to initial estimates by the police, a property damage of around 100,000 euros occurred in a fire in a field stadium between Gerblinghausen and Oberbiberg. The local boys, whose club hut was damaged, are also victims of the alleged arson.
Update 4.45 p.m .:
As the police have now confirmed, a 47-year-old man from the Munich district was arrested in the morning. He is suspected not only to have set fire to Oberbiberg, but also to be responsible for four fires in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district.
Oberhaching residents noticed a firelight at around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday and alerted the fire department, the police reported. When the emergency services of the surrounding fire brigades arrived, the barn, in which the hut of the local boys was integrated, was already in full fire, as the head of operations and commander of the Oberbiberger fire brigade, Hubert Schmid, explains: "When we arrived, we were standing in front of a ten Meter high wall of flame. "
Water has to be brought in with fire trucks
The 130 fire-fighters from Oberbiberg, Altkirchen, Deining, Dingharting, Sauerlach and Taufkirchen tried to master the flames for hours. "Because there was no hydrant on site, we had to bring the fire water with the fire trucks," explains Schmid why so many fire departments were in action.
The police suspect arson
But all effort was in vain. The barn, which housed several agricultural vehicles, burned down almost completely. The police estimate the damage to be around 100,000 euros. Nobody got hurt. The police fire investigators started the investigation on site. They assume that the fire was started intentionally.
It has recently burned several times in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district
