On the night of November 10, 2024, a major alarm was triggered for the fire department in Kremsmünster (Kirchdorf an der Krems district). A fire broke out on the premises of a company, prompting a quick response from six surrounding fire departments. The alarm was raised shortly after midnight when emergency services were called to an “outdoor fire.” Due to the massive spread of smoke, the alert level was soon raised and additional forces had to be requested.

The fire was discovered by a 51-year-old forklift driver who immediately informed the shift supervisor and the fire department. This happened on November 9, 2024, just before midnight. The fire brigade was able to quickly bring the fire under control, but extinguishing work continued until the early hours of the morning. It is believed that the fire broke out among the stored pallets of glass bottles.

The cause of the fire and damage are still unknown

The exact causes of the fire are currently unclear, as is the extent of the damage caused. The affected fire departments that were on duty that night showed impressive cooperation and efficiency in fighting the flames. A heavy development of smoke during the operation could be felt from the site to the surrounding area, which made the urgency of the situation clear.

The population in the area was temporarily informed of the situation, but was generally able to remain unaffected by the operational situation and its possible consequences. Further details regarding the cause of the fire and possible damage are still being evaluated and local authorities will continue to monitor the situation.
