Carbon monoxide alarm in Kramsach: Fire brigade saves residents out of life!

in Kramsach, Tyrol, a dangerous incident in a semi -detached house last Sunday was barely light. A defect in the heating system released carbon monoxide, which injured four of the eight residents. The condition of a 22-year-old woman who had to be flown to a special clinic in Murnau with severe symptoms of poisoning was particularly critical. This was made possible by the alarm triggering of her carbon monoxide detector after she suffered from severe dizziness in the morning and informed the emergency call, reported kosmo.at

When the rescue workers arrived, their carbon monoxide detectors also determined alarming values. The Kramsach fire brigade immediately gave the all -clear, evacuated the house and carried out carbon monoxide measurements. While four residents escaped without medical help, the 22-year-old and two 56-year-old women and a 51-year-old man were brought to the Kufstein hospital for clarification, as krone.at reported. The fire engineer Dr. Adi Schinnerl emphasized that inhaling carbon monoxide in closed rooms is potentially life -threatening and starting with symptoms such as headaches and dizziness.

The fire brigade was able to quickly vent the building safely, while a heating technician and a chimney sweepers identified the defect in the heating system as the cause of the gas leakage. After Murnau, the 22-year-old affected was treated in a pressure chamber that enables faster elimination of the poison from her body and can thus prevent long-term damage.

dr. Adi Schinnerl explained the seriousness of the incident and the rapid measures of the emergency services, which were safe through the use of respiratory protection during the rescue operation. The quick reaction and the individual carbon monoxide registration systems were crucial to avoid worse things.
