Fire in a former inn in Hofstett-Emerbuch: Large-scale operations of the fire brigade

On Wednesday afternoon, a fire broke out in an old inn in Hofstett-Emerbuch, a district of Amstetten. The alarmed firefighters and the technical relief organization (THW) are currently in large -scale operation. At 8:30 p.m. the extinguishing work was still in progress and the operation went into the early evening.

The brand of the fire is located in a former inn that had a guest room. The challenge for the emergency services is not only in combating the fire, but also in the stability of the building, which is considered to be severely in danger of collapse. According to a police spokesman, the condition of the house is so critical that it cannot be entered. Therefore, the fire brigade tries to get a better overview of the location in the building via aerial ladders and drones. But the darkness also makes the situation complicated and has not yet been used successfully.

Special challenges in the deletion measures

The fire brigade faces enormous difficulties, which are due to the structural risk of the house. This danger situation forces the emergency services to proceed extremely carefully and strategically so as not to get in danger. In the last reports it was said that there was an acute risk of collapse and a missing person is being sought.

According to the police, an attempt is initially made to control the fire, while security is the top priority at the same time. Fire brigades from several surrounding communities are on the road according to Hofstett-Emerbuch to support the emergency services that are faced with great personnel and technical challenges due to the complex situation.

The exact causes of the fire are still unclear, and the investigation on this is intensified after the extinguishing work. It remains to be seen when the fire brigade can finally end the operation and what the location on site looks like after the fire has been contained.
