Fast use: Fire brigade brings basement fire in Bad Schönau under control!

Bad Schönau, Österreich - in Krumbach there was a dramatic apartment fire, when a box of wood caught a box with wooden fire in the basement area, probably due to a heating error. When the fire brigade arrived, the basement was already crossed by heavy smoke. Using the air-independent respiratory protection, the flames could be quickly contained. Fortunately, the fire was so quickly under control that a respiratory protection team from FF Bad Schönau only had to be provided as a precaution. The basement and the adjacent garage were then freed from the smoke with a pressure ventilation, so that the emergency services could move back after a final thermal image control, reported Noen.at .

fire development and phases

The dynamics of a fire follow specific phases that range from inflammatory activity to the cooling phase. First there is a smoldering phase, where materials burn without an open flame and release dangerous gases. This is followed by the inflammatory phase, in which the material begins to burn visibly, followed by the growth phase in which the fire increases in intensity. The full fire phase describes the highlight of the fire, while the cooling phase finally occurs when the fuel is exhausted or the flames suffocate by extinguishing measures. To be able to understand such processes is essential for effective fire prevention measures, as described on wagnergroup.com
