Fire in Fischerhütte by Wagna - a person injured!

In the night of December 28, 2024, a fishing hut in Wagna, Leibnitz district, caught fire. At 11:55 p.m., the fire brigades Wagna, Leitring and Hasendorf were alerted. A total of around 40 firefighters were deployed, including forces that were equipped with heavy respiratory protection. After just an hour the flames were under control, and "fire from" could be reported, as fireworld.at reported.

The cause of the fire is attributed to an ascher backlog in the oven. During the extinguishing work, the roof of the hut and some components had to be removed to effectively combat the fire. Tragically, a person with suspected flue gas poisoning was discovered and transported to the Graz children's clinic. The value of the property damage incurred has not yet been known, as meinbezirk.at added.

The rapid measures of the fire brigade prevented the fire from spreading and protected possible surrounding areas. The incident is a serious memory of the dangers of uncontrolled fires, especially in the cold season when heating is strong.
