Roofing fire in Radenthein: Fire brigade saves 50 animals from flames!

A dramatic roof truss fire kept the fire brigade busy on Saturday morning in Radenthein. The sirens sounded at 8:30 a.m. when the volunteer fire brigades Radenthein, Untertweng, St. Peter Ob Radenthein, Döbriach, Bad Kleinkirchheim and Millstatt were alerted. When approaching, the emergency services already saw strong smoke swaths - the entire roof structure of an outbuilding was on fire, as the Radenthein fire brigade reported.

operations manager Hannes Daborer informed that the affected outbuilding served as a farm building with garage and housed chickens and pigeons. Thanks to the rapid action of the fire brigade, 50 animals could be saved alive from the burning building. The close development - just two to three meters from the main building - was a dangerous situation, but the fire brigade was able to protect the house and the neighboring neighboring houses. The fire was quickly brought under control, and fortunately injured people cannot be complained about. According to reports from 5min.at, the volunteer fire brigades Radenthein are currently still in use for the fire station.

cause and damage still unclear

The exact causes of the fire are so far unclear, and the investigations of the fire investigators of the police are still ongoing. The cause of the fire could be of great interest to the residents and the emergency services, since the clouds of smoke were visible for miles. The Radenthein volunteer fire brigade is still on the spot to ensure that the embers are completely deleted and that the use takes place in an orderly frame. This reported 5min.at in a report from the same day.
