The fire brigade's large -scale deployment: Full fire in Altenmarkt discovered!

On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, a devastating fire broke out in Altenmarkt in the Pongau, which at around 5:00 p.m. a single -family house and the associated carport opened up. The fire was discovered by an attentive neighbor, who immediately alerted the fire brigade and saved the 84-year-old resident out of the burning house. Fortunately, the residents remained unharmed, but the fire caused considerable damage to property, the scope of which cannot yet be determined, as Salzburg.orf.at reported.

When the Altenmarkt fire brigade arrived, the carport was already in full fire. In order to prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the building and the adjacent vegetation, the alarm level was increased at level 3, which led to the immediate alarm from further fire brigades from Flachau and St. Johann in the Pongau href = "https://www.fireworld.at/2025/04/sbg-brand-eines-wohnhauses-in-altenmarkt-im-pongau- →-alarmstufe3/"> fireworld.at reported. A total of around 130 fire brigade, red cross and police were used. Thanks to the strong use of forces and the support from a drone with a thermal imaging camera, the fire could be spread further. The intensive post -extinguishing work finally led to the report "Brand out" at 6:30 p.m.

The cause of the fire is still unknown at the present time and the subject of police investigations. In addition, due to the strong smoke development, an adjacent apartment building was evacuated, but there was no injuries. The fire brigade was very efficient and was able to quickly control the impending risk due to the proximal tree vegetation.
