Such a loss, there was Switzerland never

In the case of a large fire in the post-car Garage in Chur on Wednesday evening, many of the post have been destroyed, cars completely. The damage goes into the millions. What about the operation? You can travel on the weekends, through Chur in the ski resorts?

Ben Küchler is a media spokesperson for Postbus Switzerland. In this Interview, he answers the five most important questions to a large fire.

The great fire in the Chur Postbus Depot has caused millions of damage. What is the current damage balance?
20 postal cars were completely destroyed. This is half of the inventory of the location in Chur. We expect a total loss of about 7.5 million francs. This applies, however, only the vehicles. The damage to the building is still not counting, and is currently being assessed.

lost Postbus Switzerland in case of a fire ever so many vehicles at once?
To our Knowledge, there has been in Switzerland never a loss in this scale.

Over night you have already brought replacement vehicles to Chur. How was that possible so fast?
For Thursday and Friday we were able to bring in the night from the surrounding regions of replacement vehicles to Chur. The normal operation could be ensured today. Logistically, it was a great performance, many people worked the night. For the days after that, we try to arrange replacement vehicles from all over Switzerland. If this is not enough, we will work with partner companies. We clarify now, how long have we been using this System in Chur can operate. But so far, we are cautiously optimistic.

From Morning to evening, thousands of skiers about Chur travel to the popular ski resorts of Flims/Laax or Lenzerheide. Will it have enough vehicles, or individual courses?
On the weekend we try to be able to vehicles from the whole of Switzerland. Here, too, we are cautiously optimistic that the operation can normally be continued. We advise travellers to consult before the trip in the online timetable.

How long does it take until replacement vehicles are procured?
Until the new Vehicles ordered and are ready for use, it will take several months.
