Major fire operation in St. Veit: mobile home in flames, house damaged!
A dramatic incident occurred on September 5, 2025 in the St. Veit an der Glan district when a mobile home caught fire in the driveway of a single-family home. According to klick-kaernten.at, the mobile home was completely destroyed and the flames also spread to the adjacent house. The exact amount of damage, particularly to the roof structure of the single-family home, is currently unknown.
The fire brigade was alerted on September 6th at 9:46 p.m. when the mobile home was already fully ablaze and the flames were spreading to the roof of the adjacent house. Five fire departments, including those from St. Veit/Glan, St. Donat, St. Michael/ Zollfeld, Hörzendorf Projern and Treffelsdorf, were on duty with a total of 105 members and 13 vehicles, supplemented by the police, Red Cross and energy provider KELAG. This emerges from a report by 5min.at.
Efficient firefighting
When the emergency services arrived, two teams entered the house wearing heavy breathing apparatus to ensure that there were no longer any people in the building. Fortunately, the homeowner and his dog were able to get outside in time. Additional respiratory protection teams concentrated on extinguishing the fire in the roof structure, both from the outside and using a turntable ladder.
The water supply was organized through feeders from hydrants and from the Glan. The operation lasted until shortly after midnight when the “fire out” was finally announced. Fortunately, there were no injuries in this incident, but there was significant damage to the family home and the mobile home was completely destroyed.
Context to the cause of the fire
The cause of the fire is still unclear and is still being investigated. This illustrates the importance of a precise investigation and recording of the causes of fire, as can also be found in the information from feuertrutz.de. Regular updates and statistical surveys could help to better prevent future fire events and optimize fire protection.
Such incidents are important not only locally but also in an international context as they point to the need for continuous improvement in the field of fire safety. Fire statistics and causes could provide valuable information to develop appropriate safety measures and protect people from such dangers.
