Great fire in Laab im Walde: fire brigade in constant use against flames!

In the night of Friday, a devastating fire broke out in an agricultural property near Laab in the forest, which resulted in a massive use of the fire brigade. The alarm of the emergency services was triggered at 10:30 p.m. when the farm building of around 200 square meters fell into full fire. A total of more than 100 firefighters from eleven fire brigades, including the FF Laab in the Walde, Breitenfurt and Kaltenleuten, were mobilized to combat the inferno. The strong smoke development made the use of breathing troops necessary to curb the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring objects, such as Noen reported .

The extinguishing work went into the lunch hours, since difficult conditions and the necessary evacuation of straw make it difficult to use. During the dramatic fighting of the flames, a fireman suffered flue gas poisoning, but fortunately remained unharmed due to the rapid reaction of the rescue workers. Details on the cause of the fire are currently still unclear, such as OE24 reports .

The fire brigade held a heroic commitment with 115 men and 17 vehicles to control the situation and protect the living area of ​​the property. Thanks to the coordination and the commitment of the emergency services, it was possible to avoid greater damage, whereby the reversal work was considered essential by operations manager Thomas Haslinger. Another crucial step was to clear and degenish the straw, which was endangered by the flames to prevent the fire from completely breaking out.
