Great fire in St. Michael: residents saved in good time!
In the early morning hour of March 5, 2025, the St. Michael fire brigade was alerted to a devastating fire in a residential building around 5:30 a.m. The fire that had broken out on a balcony quickly spread to the roof structure and led to the increase in the alarm level to 3. A total of seven fire brigades with 96 emergency services were on site to combat the flames, such as meindezirk.at reported. Despite the challenges, the emergency services managed to control the fire until 6:49 a.m., but it was not yet completely deleted. Fire brigade spokesman Michael Keidel said that it was necessary to open parts of the roof skin as well as wall and ceiling cladding indoors to get to the fire.
Thanks to the quick action of a caretaker, the 25 residents of the house were brought to safety before the fire brigade arrived, which luckily nobody was injured. The State Fire Brigade Association announced that those affected are initially accommodated in a hotel and looked after there. While most fire brigades left the site at 7:30 a.m., the fire brigade St. Michael remains on site to take over the fire security guard and search for a thermal imaging camera to embers, as orf.at . The Salzburg public prosecutor has commissioned an expert to determine the cause of the fire. No information is currently available on the amount of the damage.
