In addition, the Graz professional fire brigade provided a deletion support vehicle that is particularly suitable for buildings at risk of collapse.

logistical challenge and strategy

The fire brigade implemented an effective strategy for fire fighting, which included the formation of operations and the establishment of extinguishing water stocks on both sides of the company. A supply line from the outdoor pool of Söchau to the fire site was relocated, while tank fire engines transported water from Fürstenfeld and Überbach in commuting. After around three hours the fire was under control, but extensive reversal work was necessary.

To avoid environmental damage, oil barriers were set up in the riding certificate and the teams of the dangerous fabric vehicles (GSF) were actively involved. Fortunately, there was no injured in this major event that claimed the capacity of many fire departments.

Both incidents emphasize the continuing challenges with which fire departments are confronted, especially in large industrial and warehouses. According to Feuertrutz there is no uniform fire statistics in Germany, which makes it difficult to improve fire prevention. A comprehensive data collection would help improve security and make future missions more effective.
