Countless news scouts near Pfäffikon SZ suffered quite a shock on Wednesday followingnoon when they took a look at the otherwise so picturesque Lake Zurich. Because large clouds of gray smoke rose over the island of Lützelau – perhaps a fire?
Yes, but a deliberate fire. As a spokesman for the cantonal police in Schwyz told 20 Minuten, the smoke was caused by the burning of reeds. However, this activity had been registered and approved in advance. In addition to a restaurant, there is also a campsite on the smaller of the two islands in the upper area of Lake Zurich.
