On Wednesday morning, the so-called Loftcube, a highly visible apartment with panoramic views on the roof of the seven-story Hotel Daniel at Graz's main train station, caught fire.

After about 20 minutes, the Graz professional fire brigade had extinguished the fire. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is not yet clear and is to be investigated, the professional fire brigade announced.

The alarm was triggered at 9:38 a.m. by an automatic fire alarm system, and four minutes later the first firefighters were on the scene. The hotel staff had already evacuated the fifth and sixth floors. The fire was fought using a wall hydrant and the stairwell, as well as the turntable ladder. The professional fire brigade was on site with seven vehicles and 27 personnel to combat the fire.
