Kitchen fire in Waidhofen: Oil ignites, home owner saves herself!

On August 16, 2025, at 10:58 a.m., an Anna-Brabbee-Straße in Waidhofen an der Thaya occurred. The fire brigades from Altwaidhofen and Waidhofen/Thaya were alerted after the house owner noticed that oil had lit on the stove while leaving the kitchen briefly. She saw black smoke climbing and quickly removed the pot from the stove before opening the window. In view of the strong smoke development, she left the house and asked for help.

The head of operations arrived while the emergency services were already on site. Dense black smoke penetrated from two windows of the single -family house. At that time there were no people or animals in the house. The home owner confirmed a fat fire, which enabled the emergency services a quick reaction.

Use of the fire brigade

A fire engine from the fire brigade arrived at the scene one minute after the head of operations. A respiratory protection squad was sent into the building with a fire ceiling and a CO2 extinguisher. At the same time, a fire line was prepared in the entrance area. Other vehicles and members of the volunteer fire brigades Altwaidhofen and Waidhofen/Thaya also moved in. The respiratory protection teams explored the basement area and the attic of the house.

The fire could be deleted within a few minutes. The extractor was thrown out and extinguished through the window. Pressure ventilation were set up in the entrance area to eliminate the smoke. Thermal imaging cameras showed increased temperatures in the kitchen area, which were cooled with a bucket injection. After the ventilation measures, cleaning up in the house began.

Aftercare and support

An electrician was informed to check the electrical cables. The home owner was unharmed, but spent some time with friends while the firefighters completed their work. The use of the firefighters ended in the afternoon at 12:20 p.m. Overall, various emergency services were involved on this day, including the Altwaidhofen volunteer fire brigade with eight members and the Volunteer Fire Brigade in Waidhofen/Thaya, which was deployed with 17 members.
