Stall fire in Spittal: Fire brigade saves cows from a blazing inferno!

On the evening of March 14, 2025, a devastating fire broke out in a stable in Spittal an der Drau, which threatened not only the stable building, but also the surrounding areas. A 43-year-old farmer noticed an unusual smoke or dust development during the feeding of her animals. She immediately alerted her 20-year-old son, who was initially unable to find any abnormalities. A few minutes later, however, he discovered the flames that spread quickly. He saved seven cows from the stable, but three calves could no longer be brought to safety due to the rapid fire development. According to information from klick-kaernten.at , however, the fire brigade was able to prevent the fire from spreading to two neighboring houses and a nearby forest.

In a further incident in Bad Ischl, ten fire brigades were deployed on the same day to extinguish a stable building that was in full fire. A high column of smoke was already visible on the way, which clarified the urgency of the situation. The emergency services used several feed -in lines of surrounding hydrants and the ischlow to combat the fire. Thanks to several respiratory protection teams, the flames could be prevented from spreading to an adjacent house. Here, too, it was possible to bring the animals into a safe field. The emergency services reported that fortunately nobody was injured, and the post-extinguishing work took about three hours, as Salzi.at reported.
