Fire in Altmünster: Gas bottle explosion ensures alarm level!

Altmünster, Österreich - Altmünster (Upper Austria): On Sunday evening, February 9, 2025, four fire departments were alerted in a building in Altmünster because of a fire. The cause of the fire is attributed to an exploded gas bottle that detonated in a spacious property on Lake Traunsee. As early as late Sunday afternoon, the emergency services received the "Brand Building" command, and they immediately hurried to the site. During the extinguishing campaign, a person suffered injuries and was admitted to the Salzkammergut Klinikum Vöcklabruck for primary care, such as Fireworld.at reported.

The fire brigade had a lot to do for several hours. The affected building was badly damaged and at risk of collapse due to the explosion. The emergency services fought the flames with heavy breathing protection and also carried out temporary measures to stabilize the building, in consultation with the local police. Despite the dramatic incident, according to initial information, there was no major fire, which apparently calmed down the emergency services, as well as the reporting of laumat.at . What is certain, however, is that the danger situation was serious and immediate measures were necessary.
