Drama in Vienna: Fire Brigade demands everything!

A dramatic fire in Wiener Reisnerstrasse led to the use of fire brigade and rescue workers in the early morning hours. The fire brigade was alerted at 5:40 a.m. after flames broke out in an attic apartment. Due to the closed roller shutters, the extinguishing work was made more difficult, which caused thick smoke to fill the upper floors of the building. Some residents were forced to leave their apartments and fled to the streets, such as Today. reported.

The fire brigade quickly used a fire line via the staircase into the 7th floor and started fighting the fire under respiratory protection. In the meantime, the injured apartment owner had to be looked after until the medical team took him to the hospital. In addition, the emergency services set up a fire line using aerial ladder on the roof terrace to combat the fire from above, and removed the shutters. After the fire was extinguished, a high -performance fan was used to free the stairwell from Rauch. Adjacent apartments have also been checked and ventilated to ensure that there were no further fire threats, such as kosmo.at noted.

Reisnerstrasse remained closed throughout the operation to enable the emergency services to make a smooth access. The exact cause of the fire is currently being investigated, while the emergency services ensure that all the main and adjacent areas are safe.
