Fire brigade Euratsfeld in action: fire use right after New Year!

on January 1, 2025, just 22 minutes after the turn of the year, there was a nightly use of the volunteer fire brigade in the district of Amstetten in Euratsfeld. The comrades were alerted to extinguish a fire in the mansard area of a residential building. Fortunately, the homeowners had reacted quickly, made the first attempts to extinguish the emergency call, such as meinzirk.at reported. When the fire brigade arrived, the head of operations found a strong smoke, and the residents were safely directed out of the building.

In the course of the extinguishing work, a respiratory protection squad was used to open the roof of the house. Extensive extinguishing measures and controls with a thermal imaging camera took place there. It was shown that the interior of the building had to be ventilated. The good news for everyone involved was that the residents were doing well and that no other emergency services were required. However, the upper floor of the residential building remains uninhabitable. This illustrates the importance of quick action in fires and the operational readiness of the fire brigade.

expanded skills by TR-CAMP

Also on the same weekend, three members of the Euratsfeld fire department took part in the TR camp to deepen their knowledge of technical assistance and patient care. As part of this training, various scenarios, including civil engineering accidents and car collisions, were practiced and meticulously explained. The participants, including David Traumüller, Bernd Stroißnigg and Bianca Keschmann, were able to use their newly learned knowledge in a practical way and thus significantly expand their skills in human rescue. You will pass on this knowledge to the remaining fire brigade members in the coming weeks, as is emphasized in the report by ff-ligist.at . In addition, the participants would like to thank the trainers and the volunteer fire brigade for the educational experience.
