Roofing fire in Großwilfersdorf: Fire brigade prevents worse!
Großwilfersdorf, Österreich - on May 29, 2025, a holiday in Austria, firefighters in Großwilfersdorf, Styria, were alerted. Around 4:38 p.m., residents reported a considerable smoke from a yard near Riegersdorf. The fire brigade Hainersdorf as well as the weirs Kalsdorf-Buchberg, Großhartmannsdorf and Obgrün quickly moved out to the site, where the roof structure of a farm building was in full fire. Fortunately, the fire was quickly brought under control and prevented the spread of the fire, such as fireworld.at reported.
An immediate fire -fighting attack was initiated, while the fire brigade was alerted to continue to cope with the situation. In addition, there was a turntable ladder from Fürstenfeld and additional fire brigades with respiratory protection equipment wearers, the support of which was necessary to eliminate embers and remove wood chips from the building. A total of 109 firefighters were used as well as forces of the Red Cross and the police.
further operational reports from the region
The fire brigade was also challenged on a further use on the same day, but in Stuttgart-Nord. There, residents reported strong smoke from the underground car park of an apartment building on Wolframstrasse. The integrated control center Stuttgart sent a large task force, while the residents had already left the building and waited outside for their return. The first respiratory protection team found that a car burned in the underground car park.The fire was immediately deleted with a small extinguishing device. The fire brigade then had to request special devices for smoke extraction, since the underground car park was heavily smoked.
Thanks to the quick measures, the underground car park could soon be made smoke -free again. During the mission, two residents were spotted by the emergency services on site, fortunately they remained unharmed. Among other things, several fire stations and ambulances from the Stuttgart professional fire brigade were involved, such as Regionews.eu
global fire statistics
Against the background of these regional events, it is of interest to consider global fire statistics. The report № 27 of the CTIF on the world fire statistics, which was presented in Celje, Slovenia in 2022, offers a comprehensive overview of developments in the field of fire protection. Since 1995, the Center of Fire Statistics (CFS) has published these statistics, which among other things capture brand deaths and fire injuries. Current challenges in data collection include missing national fire statistics systems and different rules for the registration of fires, such as "https://ctif.org/de/news/der-ctif-bericht-zur-weltbrandstatistik-no-27-steht-jetz-zum-download-ready.In 2020, the statistics recorded 24.2% of the fires in residential buildings, with 82.7% of the brand deaths and 61% of the fire injuries recorded in this sector. These alarming numbers underline the need for continuous improvement in fire protection measures, both on local and global level. Participation in the EU project Firestat and the current project "100 Cities-100 Years-Evaluation of Urban Fire Risks" should serve to improve fire data recording and further professionalize fire department activities.
