Vienna - A flat in central Vienna was set on fire by unknown New Year's revellers who were firing rockets from bottles, police said on Tuesday.
Shortly before midnight on Monday, four people set off the fireworks in front of the house in the first district. One of the rockets landed in the flat and set it aflame.
Fire services rescued 20 people, including a baby, from several flats in the building using ladders.
Ten people suffered smoke poisoning with only a pet cat burning to death.
