Fire in Marchtrenk: Quick action saves the house from the sea of ​​flames!

On June 14, 2025, a fire broke out in front of the garage of an unoccupied residential building in Marchtrenk, Wels-Land district. The exact cause of the fire in the covered area remains unknown. Two fire departments were immediately alerted to bring the rapidly growing flames under control. Thanks to the rapid extinguishing attack, the flames were prevented from spreading to the residential building, which was of enormous importance.

The area in front of the garage was badly affected as numerous items were stored there. To gain access, the fire department had to open the entrance gate using a hydraulic rescue device. During the operation, the building and the adjacent garage were checked several times. In addition, several trees and bushes that were also affected by the flames had to be extinguished.

Injured and current investigations

During the operation, one person was briefly looked after by the emergency services. However, according to reports, there were no injuries. The police have already started an investigation into the cause of the fire. In order not to hinder the fire brigade's work, Andreas-Hofer-Straße was closed for around 1.5 hours, while Bahnhofstraße was difficult to pass for an hour. This illustrates the great effort that was necessary to bring the situation under control.

Rapid and effective intervention is of utmost importance for the safety of residents and fire protection. According to [[FeuerTrutz]](https://www.feuertrutz.de/statistics-brandschutz), comprehensive statistics on fires, causes of fires and injuries caused by fires in Germany provide essential data for improving fire protection. Transparent and regular updating of this information is essential to further develop safety precautions and prevention strategies.
