Fire in downtown Baden: Fire brigade saves people and cats!

Bahngasse, 2500 Baden, Österreich - On February 6, 2025, the fire brigade in Baden, Lower Austria, was called to an explosive apartment fire in Bahngasse. The alarmed "B2 room fire" quickly developed into a "B3" mission, as the flames from an apartment on the first floor hit and dark smoke filled the entire stairwell. At the same time, three other fire departments were mobilized to support as many people and animals as possible. According to reports from fireworld.at , several people and three cats were saved, but one of the hangover did not survive the smoke and stress.

The emergency services from Baden-Leesdorf and Baden-Stadt, supported by other fire brigades, carried out a targeted rescue operation with respiratory protection teams. "The fire brigade was able to curb the ferris with the fire and bring all residents to safety," reported a head of operations. After around three hours, the extensive post -extinguishing work was completed to extinguish any embers and avoid flickering of the fire. The Kottingbrunn fire brigade also took over measurements to ensure that there were no dangerous gases in the air, such as nön.at noted.

The residents were instructed to spend the night outside the building, since water and gas were turned off for safety reasons. An expert will examine the situation the following Friday. The residents are shaken, but the quick reaction of the fire brigade has prevented worse things.
