Fire brigade missions over New Year's Eve: basement fire and more in the region!

During New Year's Eve, it was on fire in Amstetten and the surrounding area! At 5:49 p.m., the fire departments Wolfsbach, Meilersdorf and Krenstetten were called to an alarming basement fire. The head of operations immediately recognized the danger situation because a fire had raged in the basement. Thanks to a quick respiratory protection squad, the flames could be quickly localized and deleted. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and after only 1.5 hours "fire" could be given. But that was not the only effort of that night: in Haag a garbage island burned, the smoke of which moved into the underground car park of a residential building. The flames on the facade had to be fought in Euratsfeld, and in St. Pantaleon there was a vegetation fire on the agenda. The AMSTetten area salary also reported several missions in the Scheibbs district, such as Noen.at reported.

extinguishing actions in Lunz am See

in Lunz am See there was another dramatic extinguishing event when a fireplace fire was discovered in a forest house. The fire fighting was extremely difficult here, since a smoldering fire was hidden in the false ceiling. Because of the dense smoke development, the forces had to go to their knees again and again. The fire brigade from Lackenhof am Ötscher was called to support, but the extremely poor visibility led to the internal attack had to be temporarily stopped. In order to locate the stove of the fire, the roof was opened with a turntable ladder, which brought additional difficulties. The icy wind, with temperatures of minus eight degrees, made the use even more tedious because extinguishing water and equipment inspire. Overall, the extinguishing work lasted around eleven hours, with the fire department spokesman Philipp Pflügl reported that in addition to the fire brigades, the police and the emergency services were on site, such as meinzirk.at .
