Great fire in Mitterreith: Cats could not be saved!

On Sunday, December 8, 2024, a devastating fire broke out in a single -family house in Mitterreith, which shed several fire brigades on alert. When they arrive, the roof and parts of the upper floor were already on fire. The fire brigades Escababruck, Friedersbach, Jahrings, Kleinschönau, Mitterreith, Rudmanns, Abbey Zwettl, Wolfsberg and Zwettl-Stadt rushed. A fire attack was quickly initiated from the outside, while the Zwettl-Stadt fire brigade positioned its ladders to combat the fire from above.

Thanks to the coordinated assignment, the fire could be quickly brought under control. The emergency services searched the building in search of other flocks of fire after the fire was contained. Unfortunately, two cats were in the house and could not be saved despite intensive resuscitation attempts. Fortunately, people were not harmed, but the tragedy around the animals leaves a bitter cut because their end of life was carried out parallel to the extinguishing work. After about three hours, the operations management finally reported "fire" and to avoid a rebuilt, the Mitterreith fire brigade set up a fire security guard. The investigation into the cause of the fire is still underway, as noe.orf.at reported.
