Car in Sempach Lichterloh on flames: fire brigade in action!

Sempach, Österreich - A spectacular fire caused a stir on the evening of December 12, 2024, in Sempach: a car was completely a robbery of the flames. The incident occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. when the driver noticed that smoke was getting out of the engine compartment. He immediately parked the vehicle at the handlebar. When the fire brigade arrived, the car was already in full fire. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but the property damage amounts to around CHF 8,000, such as luzernerzeitung.ch

Danger from extinguishing water

The fire brigade had to build an oil barrier during the extinguishing work, as polluted extinguishing water got into the sewage system. This water threatened to flow towards Lake Sempache and could therefore be a risk to the water. A water sample was removed to ensure that no pollutants got into the water. The cause of the fire is currently being investigated by the authorities. The fire brigades in Oberer Sempersee and Sursee as well as employees of the traffic and infrastructure and the environment and energy, which accompanied the incident on site, were href = "https://www.fireworld.at/2024/13/schweiz-auto-in-spach-bredt-oel-perre-wegen-loeschwasser/"> Fireworld.at announced.
