Kitchen fire in Fürstenfeld: Fire brigade saves worse!

In the night of March 4, 2025, there was a fire in the old -fashioned collection center in Fürstenfeld in the bulky waste box, the cause of which has so far been unknown. An employee of the Stadtwerke noticed the fire through an internal warning system and immediately alerted the fire brigade. The Fürstenfeld fire brigade moved out with five vehicles and a total of 18 emergency services and was able to quickly control the fire, which had already spread to neighboring boxes. A parked vehicle was removed from the danger zone in good time, but the incident caused considerable damage to property on the building and on the vehicle, triggered by the radiation heat and dripping plastic parts, such as fireworld.at In parallel to this event, a kitchen fire occurred on Wednesday afternoon in a residential building in Fürstenfeld, also triggered by a dishwasher that had caught fire for unexplained reasons. The residents immediately noticed the strong smoke development and alerted the local fire brigade. The Feuerwehren Fürstenfeld and Altenmarkt hurried to the site with several vehicles, including a large tank fire engine and a turntable ladder. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the emergency services, the fire in the stages of origin could be brought under control. A respiratory protection team used a fire extinguisher and removed the dishwasher to continue to fight the flames outside. The control for the embers took place using a thermal imaging camera, and the building was made smoke -free with a pressure ventilation, as meinbezirk.at reported.

Both missions illustrate the importance of the fast alarm and reaction in the event of a fire in order to avoid more serious damage. The collaboration of the fire departments has once again proven to be crucial.
