Drama in Vienna: 86-year-old dies tragically with a devastating apartment fire!

Landstraße, 1030 Wien, Österreich - A tragic fire in a attic apartment in Vienna-Landstrasse called for the life of an 86-year-old, bedridden man on Monday afternoon. According to vienna.at, the man was found lifeless in his apartment after the fire brigade was alerted around 2:30 a.m. When it arrived, the apartment was already heavily smoky and flames hit the windows.

The large -scale operation of the Vienna professional fire brigade, the Vienna Professional Rescue and the Viennese police required the rescue location and led to traffic barriers in Landstraßer Hauptstraße on the corner of Sixkrückgasse. Emergency forces used several hose lines from both inside and outside to combat the fire. Parts of the roof structure collapsed during the extinguishing process. Alarm level 3 was proclaimed and two other residents had to be cared for by the rescue.

the cause of the fire unclear

The cause of the devastating fire is so far unclear and is examined by the fire investigators of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office. This situation is not unique; According to Feuertrutz.de, fires in densely populated areas are a common problem. Especially in urban regions, unclear causes of fire, such as technical defects or human failure, can have serious consequences.

The fire could be deleted until late afternoon, but the control, reversal and security work took until the evening. During this time there were also two bus lines, the 4a towards Karlsplatz and the 74a in both directions.

The severity of the incident illustrates the need for adequate fire protection measures, especially in apartment buildings, where the safety of the residents should be in the top. According to orf.at it is questionable that many fires, such as this tragic incident, are still possible and the actual causes of fire can often not be determined in time.

The results of the ongoing studies could make a decisive contribution to preventing such incidents in the future and ensuring that older and needy people are better protected.
