Shock in Weissenbach: Huge fire devil threatens residential building!

In a dramatic operation, the fire brigades from Gloggnitz and the surrounding area were alerted to a devastating fire in Weissenbach today. An outbuilding was in bright flames, the black cloud of smoke was visible for kilometers and signaled the drama of the situation. Alert level 3 was declared, which resulted in a large deployment of forces. A total of seven fire departments with around 60 members and 14 vehicles were on duty, the Red Cross also provided support with additional vehicles and personnel, while the police were also on site with several patrols and a drone team. According to information from noen.at The emergency services were able to give an initial situation report directly to the Weissenbach fire station, which made the coordination of the operation easier.

Emergency forces in constant use

The flames threatened an adjacent residential building due to the enormous heat, but quick and targeted action by the fire brigade prevented the flames from spreading at the last minute. This was also done by meinkreis.at confirmed, which reported on the complicated extinguishing work. However, despite the intensive efforts, two cars and the outbuilding itself were completely destroyed. The extinguishing attack had to be carried out taking into account the risk of the building collapsing, which made the situation even more difficult. The remaining embers proved to be stubborn and the emergency services had to work tirelessly for around three hours to finally put the fire out. Fortunately, neither residents nor emergency services were injured in the incident.

The exact cause of the fire and the amount of damage caused are still unclear. Police fire investigators have already begun an investigation to clarify the circumstances that led to this major fire.
