Mödling is burning! Dramatic fire brigade operation on company premises!

On Monday there was a dramatic fire on a company premises in the Mödling district. Heavy clouds of smoke were visible as far away as Vienna and brought the southern railway line to a partial standstill. The fire brigade was immediately deployed when numerous emergency calls were received. Although the fire was quickly brought under control, it caused considerable concern in the region krone.at reported.

Fire department on a large scale

The property where the fire broke out is home to a warehouse for insulation materials, where not only a fire but also a glowing object hit the roof during scarfing work. This caused flammable materials to burst into flames and the fire to spread rapidly throughout the hall. As soon as the fire brigade arrived, which had more than 70 emergency services on site, extensive measures were initiated to fight the fire. Support came not only from the Mödling Volunteer Fire Department, but also from units from Wiener Neudorf and Maria Enzersdorf, such as noen.at described in detail.

To extinguish the flames, a systematic attempt was made to combat all embers with foam. During the operation, a worker suffered minor smoke inhalation while attempting to extinguish the fire on his own. The fire brigade's measures, which laid hundreds of meters of hoses and ensured a water supply of 10,000 liters with a large tank fire engine, took several hours and were ultimately successful.
