Dramatic roofing fire: 20 people brought to safety!

A fire in Tennengau made a quick evacuation of 20 people, including five children, this day. According to the section fire brigade commander Rupert suburmoil, the flames quickly spread to the roof structure of the affected building. "The difficulty was that we did not get to the stove of the fire at first. It was only possible when we opened the roof," he said. The regional firefighters were immediately alerted and quickly provided help so that the flames could be prevented from spreading to adjacent buildings. A total of around 90 firefighters from different locations such as Golling, Kuchl, and Scheffau and eight rescue workers were deployed. The situation is now under control, but the exact cause of the fire is still unclear, as Salzburg.orf.at reported.

Those affected were temporarily accommodated in the Golling office. Peter Steiner, the district rescue commander of Hallein, expressed that the evacuated ones were brought into safe care as soon as suitable living space is available. For those who do not have this option, a crisis intervention team is ready to support people. All evacuates are well and unharmed, which significantly alleviates the consequences of accidents.

documentation of the flames

The fire is reminiscent of historical culmination points, in which fire was used as a powerful symbol, such as the book burnings of the National Socialist regime 1933. In these events, books were burned as a threat to "German culture", which led to astonishing social mobilization. In these times, works by influential authors such as Sigmund Freud and Erich Maria Remarque were handed over to the flames - a drastic act that reflected the mindset of an entire people, such as Severint.net documented. This story of terror and censorship warns us on the dangers of an uncontrolled power and the influence of fires in both literal and figurative sense.
