Because there was a lot of smoke from an empty house on Dornauer Weg and smelled of scorched plastic, a walker called the fire brigade on Sunday.
The emergency services were amazed when they arrived at the scene.
Schongau - Schongau's fire brigade commander Werner Berchtold has already seen and experienced a lot, but Berthold says that he has never come across such a "curious story" as on this mission.
With 25 men and four vehicles, the Schongauer Wehr had moved to the property on Dornauer Weg.
The cause of the smell was quickly identified
The cause of the smoke and penetrating smell was quickly identified on site.
Several people were busy melting circuit boards over the old wood stove, reports the commandant.
They only left the building at the request of the police.
The firefighters then scraped out the stove while wearing respiratory protection.
Berchtold has little understanding for the Schmelz action.
"This creates poisonous gases that endanger both our emergency services and the population."
The police do not see any danger for the neighborhood from the melting action
Evidently, the perpetrators are not threatened with any consequences on the part of the police.
"The people stayed there with the owner's permission," said Police Chief Herbert Kieweg when asked by the SN.
"Warming up" the electronic waste did not pose a risk to the neighborhood, and no investigation was made accordingly.
The matter could still have consequences for the homeowner.
Berchtold announces that you will definitely be charged for the use.
