Jenbach, Österreich - dangerous gas leak and fire in Jenbach

Jenbach (Tyrol): A explosive event shook the residential complex in Jenbach. On February 22, 2025, the 47-year-old caretaker noticed threatening smoke development in the basement area at 4:25 p.m. and immediately alerted the emergency call. The Jenbach volunteer fire brigade was quickly on site and found that it was not a fire. Instead, carbon monoxide escaped from a fireplace tube and had distributed in the building, such as fireworld.at reported.

A total of 15 firefighters, three paramedics, a gas technician and the police were on duty.

fire in apartment building

Just a few months earlier, on November 26, 2024, there was already another incident within the city limits of Jenbach. Around 01:00 a.m., a fire broke out in an apartment building on Sieglstrasse for unknown cause. According to ffjenbach.at , parts of the balcony and the facade were on fire at the beginning of the burning. The flames spread quickly into the roof structure, but all residents had been able to leave the building independently. Thanks to an extensive extinguishing attack, in which several water vacuum cleaners were also used, large water damage could be prevented. The assignment lasted a total of three hours, with "fire out" at around 3:00 a.m. 30 members of the fire brigade were involved to extinguish the flames.
