Housing fire in Baden: Fire brigade saves people and cats

in Bahngasse in downtown Baden, there was a dramatic fire in the early afternoon. For reasons that have been unexplained so far, the fire broke out in an apartment of an apartment building. The alarmed volunteers of Baden-Leesdorf and Baden-Stadt had to act quickly and increase the alarm level to "B3". Support came from other fire brigades, including FF Baden-Weikersdorf, FF Pfaffstätten and FF Tribuswinkel. A total of around 70 emergency services were on site to fight against the flames and the dense smoke, which quickly spread in the staircase and penetrated other apartments, as nön.at reported.

The fire brigade was able to save several residents and three cats from the building thanks to the use of respiratory protection teams. Tragically, one of the hangover did not survive the exertion. The flames were quickly contained and the fire could be checked after intensive reversal work, with the fire brigade ensured that no dangerous gases could escape into the area. The residents were instructed to spend the night into safety, as gas and water had to be turned off to minimize risks. An expert will continue to examine the situation on Friday, as the Nön added.
