Unconscious woman saved at Zimmerbrand in Graz - fire brigade in action!
On Sunday evening, June 29, 2025, the Graz professional fire brigade was alerted to a room fire in Bessemergasse at 8:20 p.m. The emergency services found a very smoky apartment on the first floor, from which the resident had fled to the balcony. The fire brigade was able to save the unconscious person with a sliding ladder and handed them over to the Red Cross for further medical care. A total of 27 firefighters and seven vehicles were deployed by the police and the Red Cross. The cause of the fire is currently still the subject of police investigations.
The fire fighting was carried out with a C-tube under heavy breathing protection. At the same time, the staircase and the fire apartment were thoroughly extracted. Adjacent apartments were also checked to ensure that no other people were in danger. Strong smoky was a significant risk, but thanks to their training and equipment, the emergency services were able to act quickly.
frequency of room fires
in Austria, as in Germany, numerous room fires have already been registered in the past. According to data from Feuertrutz , regular statistics can contribute to fires and their causes significantly to improve fire protection. The fire is often triggered by improper handling of electrical devices or an open flame. It is therefore essential that citizens are informed about the correct behavior in the event of a fire.
The incident in Graz is not the first of its kind in the region. As early as February 22, 2025, the professional fire brigade moved out to a similar deployment in Vinzenz-Muchitsch-Straße in Graz Gries. There, a resident was enclosed in an apartment and urgently needed help. The fire brigade support was able to quickly contact the trapped person through a turntable ladder and successfully save them. In both cases, the rapid alarm and effective reaction of the emergency services was decisive to prevent worse things.
In summary, this incident shows the critical importance of fire protection and the proper reaction in an emergency. The fire brigade not only ensures that fires are deleted, but also that human life is saved. The continuous training of the emergency services and the sensitization of the population are essential to increase the security in your own four walls and avoid fires in the future.| Details | |
