Garden house completely destroyed in fire

A garden house belonging to the Risch-Rotkreuz Family Garden Association has burned down completely. The cause of the fire is still unclear, and is currently being clarified.

Early on Sunday morning, March 29, shortly before 5 a.m., the operations control centre of the Zug police received a report that a garden house was burning at the Risch-Rotkreuz family garden association (Familiengartenverein) in the “Heuboden” area. By the time the first emergency services arrived on site, the property was already in full blaze, and was completely destroyed, as reported in the media release from the Zug law enforcement authorities. The Risch fire brigade successfully prevented the flames from spreading to other allotment garden houses.
