In the town centre of Frauenfeld TG, a fire largely destroyed a former army building in the night of Thursday to Friday. The wooden structure, used as a storage facility by the municipal depot, also housed a hedgehog rescue station. According to police, 20 animals were rescued.
The fire broke out for reasons still unknown at around 1:00 a.m., said a spokesperson for the Thurgau cantonal police.
Several passers-by had reported the fire in the building near the train station to the emergency services.

Around 60 firefighters were deployed. They were able to extinguish the fire quickly. Police had no information regarding any injuries.
The building was largely destroyed, said the police spokesperson. The extent of material damage is not yet known.

The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
