Major fire department operation: farm in Hinterstoder is on fire

In the cold early hours of March 20, 2025, a dramatic fire broke out in Hinterstoder (Kirchdorf an der Krems district), which completely engulfed the farm wing of a farm. The fire brigade was quickly on site, but the fire was already overwhelming. However, thanks to a quick and well-coordinated operation, something worse could be prevented fireworld.at as well as laumat.at report.

The fire department responded promptly to the alarm signal. When the emergency services arrived, a significant part of the commercial wing was already in flames. Through the deployment of more than eight fire departments, including drone teams and support for operations management, the flames were successfully prevented from spreading to the adjacent residential area and other buildings. “It is the furthest farm in the valley, and the quick action of the state warning center, which immediately triggered alert level 2, was crucial,” explained a fire department spokesman. Before the fire brigade arrived, the animals were brought to safety, which helped avert another tragedy.

This fire highlights the challenges that fire departments in the region have to face. The dramatic sight of the flames and the rapid mobilization of the emergency services show how well the cooperation between the various fire departments works. Especially in such critical moments, quick action is required to prevent catastrophic damage.
