Drama in Mattersburg: Fire brigade fights against flames!

Mattersburg, Österreich - Mattersburg (BGLD): On January 4, 2025, the Mattersburg fire brigade was challenged several times. At first there was an assignment when a Christmas tree wanted to catch fire outdoors. Fortunately, attentive residents noticed the burning green and were able to extinguish the flames before the fire brigade arrived. The fire brigade then carried out reversal work and checked with a thermal imaging camera whether there were remaining fire nests, such as fireworld.at reported.

Shortly after this incident, the fire brigade was alerted again. Around 7:00 p.m., a fire from a straw press machine broke out near the S31. Dense swaths of smoke were already visible during the journey. When the fire brigade arrived, the agricultural machine was full, which quickly spread to the surrounding arable land. Thanks to the quick actions of the handlebar, which could disconnect the baler, the tractor remained undamaged. With several extinguishing lines and under heavy breathing protection, the fire brigade were able to fight the flames effectively, while at the same time removing embers with special extinguishing bags and tools. There was also an additional alarm during this mission: a youth member of the Gänserndorf fire brigade had discovered a hall fire near the Mattersburg main station and immediately reported it. The Mattersburg fire brigade was deployed with a total of 32 members and five vehicles for over two hours, as bfkdo-ma.at reported.
