Inferno in Brunn: door saves neighbors from flame drama!

Bahnstraße, 2345 Brunn am Gebirge, Österreich - on June 21, 2025, around 11 a.m., broke out in an apartment in Brunn am Gebirge, Bahnstraße, a fire that meant serious danger for the residents. The resident noticed a suspicious smell of fire, which penetrated from his brother's room, which was not present at the time. He immediately left the apartment and alerted the fire brigade. Flames and smoke beat out of a window on the back of the building, which required a quick reaction.

Shortly after the emergency call, numerous reports on the fire brigade emergency call 122 received. The Brunn volunteer fire brigade at the mountains was immediately alerted with several emergency vehicles. In view of the unclear situation and the possibility that other people could be in danger, the operations center increased the alarm level to "Brand 3".

effective fire fighting

At the time of the fire brigade, most residents had already left the building. A respiratory protection squad immediately penetrated the entrance door into the apartment affected by the flames. When opening the room door, it turned out that the room was already in full fire. However, the closed door had prevented the spread of the fire to adjacent rooms, which can be classified as a happy fact.

In addition, a second squad was mobilized, which secured the back of the building from a garage roof. A second extinguishing line was used to effectively combat the fire. Thanks to the rapid and coordinated measures of the fire brigade, the spread of the fire could be checked, and all adjacent apartments were checked for possible damage.

Although there was no physical injuries, the Red Cross decided to look after a mother with her baby and another person. The entire firefighting team, which was on site with 25 forces and five vehicles, remained in use for about 1.5 hours to bring the situation completely under control.

The event once again illustrates the importance of fire protection and the quick reaction to emergencies. According to an overview of fire protection statistics, which is provided, among other things, by Feuertrutz Network, preventive measures and awareness of fire hazards are essential in order to avoid such incidents in the future.
