Major fire in Tschakhoritsch: 140 emergency services fight against flames
A major fire raged in the Klagenfurt Land district late on Monday afternoon, keeping the emergency services in Tschachoritsch near Köttmannsdorf on their toes. The dramatic flames in a residential building not only brought neighbors together, but also led to an extensive deployment of around 140 firefighters.
The fire was largely brought under control around midnight, but operations manager Felix Filipic reported that the fire kept flaring up. The reason for this lies in the double roof structure of the building, where pockets of embers have formed - a real problem for the firefighters who are tirelessly trying to finally put out the flames.
Numerous emergency services on site
A total of nine fire departments have been mobilized to deal with the situation. Fire-fighting water is supplied by tank trucks that operate a shuttle service. This is necessary because there is not always enough water available on site. Despite the huge flames and the impending fire inferno, fortunately no injuries have been reported so far.
Residents can breathe a sigh of relief because surrounding buildings are not in danger. This was secured by the rapid and coordinated action of the fire brigade. However, it is regrettable that the roof structure of the affected house can no longer be saved, which will result in major property damage.
The emergency services continue to monitor the situation closely to prevent the fire from flaring up again. Efforts are focused on identifying and extinguishing the fire in the roof structure. The fire department's deep understanding of the sophisticated firefighting system is evident in these critical moments.
For further information on this fire, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming hours and whether the fire brigade can successfully fight the last embers. The emergency services on site demonstrate remarkable professionalism, which is completely valuable in difficult situations like these.
