Fire brigade mission in Spittal: Child ensures quick house fire

The volunteer fire brigades from Spittal/Drau, Baldramsdorf and Lendorf were called for an assignment in Spittal on November 29, 2024. At 1 p.m., a fire broke out in a house caused by an eight -year -old boy's misfortune. The boy had connected a steam sterilizer to the socket in a storage room. According to him, he dropped the sterilizer, which broke up and immediately caught fire.

The fire quickly spread to objects in the room, including plastic boxes and a foot part of a double bed. The boy's mother noticed the smoke development and initially tried desperately to extinguish the fire with water before alerting the fire brigade. Fortunately, the use of the firefighters was quick and effective - they were able to fight the fire immediately and eliminate the smoke development with special compressed fans.

Such incidents make it clear how important a careful supervision of children is, especially when it comes to electrical devices. These events are not only tragic, but also show how quickly a little carelessness can result in a serious danger.
