Motorhome Burns Out on B177 in Tyrol: Couple and Dog Escape
Original source: Fireworld.at

In Brief

A motorhome caught fire on the B177 in Tyrol, Austria. The driver noticed engine overheating and stopped, but the vehicle was destroyed. The German couple and their dog escaped unharmed.

In late May 2026, a motorhome carrying a German couple and their dog caught fire on the B177 road in Tyrol, Austria. Sources report the incident occurred near the municipality of Zirl, with one source specifying the location as the Zirlerberg pass.

The driver noticed the engine overheating and pulled into a parking area, where smoke began to rise from the engine compartment. Attempts to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher failed, and the flames quickly engulfed the entire vehicle. The couple and their dog managed to get out before the motorhome was completely burned out.

Firefighters from Zirl and Reith bei Seefeld (28 personnel) extinguished the blaze. Traffic was temporarily closed during the operation. Preliminary investigations suggest a technical defect as the cause.
