Drama in Würmla: Huge house fire in Gumperding!
On February 5, 2025, the town of Gumperding in the municipality of Würmla was penetrated by sirens when the fire brigade was alerted to a house fire. A room on the ground floor of a single-family home was already fully ablaze when emergency services arrived. Wearing heavy breathing apparatus, firefighters immediately began extinguishing the fire, both inside and outside, reports said fireworld.at.
Despite the quick response, the fire spread quickly in the building, which was partly made of wood. In order to combat the embers, part of the wooden facade was opened. In addition, the turntable ladder from the Tulln-Stadt volunteer fire department was used to open the roof and initiate fire-fighting measures from above. Luckily there were no injuries meinkreis.at reported. In addition to the Tulln-Stadt fire department, the fire departments from Würmla, Heiligeneich, Langmannersdorf, Michelndorf, Murstetten, Perschling and Saladorf were also involved in the extensive operation.
The cause remains unclear
The exact causes of the fire are currently unknown, pending fire and police investigations. The fire brigade's quick action prevented the fire from spreading further. Overall, alerting the emergency services was an exemplary example of orderly emergency response in the region, which ensured the safety of residents and prevented anything worse from happening.
