Fire in St. Jakob: Firefighter injured, cause now clear!

Last Sunday, November 30th, there was a dramatic fire in an outbuilding of an empty property in St. Jakob in the Rosental. The fire alarm was triggered at 4:45 p.m., and numerous fire brigades, including the volunteer fire brigades from St. Jakob, Rosegg, Ludmannsdorf, Frießnitz/Rosenbach and Maria Elend, were on duty. One of the fire brigade members is slightly injured during the extinguishing work, but the exact amount of damage has so far been unclear.

causes of fires

In the context of fire protection, the incident in St. Jakob is particularly revealing because it illustrates the dangers of improper waste disposal. According to brandschutz-zentrale.de , overheating is a common cause of fire, which is often caused by materials that are heated beyond their recommended temperature limit. As an example, a plastic powder user who remains on a hot stove can lead to a fire. In order to avoid fires by overheating, slightly inflammatory materials should be kept away from hot sources. The careful storage of textiles and other flammable objects near heat sources is particularly important.
