Fire risk in the Rax area: Fire brigade fights against flames!

In the Neunkirchner district, a forest fire broke out on Saturday, apparently due to a burning vehicle. The fire quickly spread to an area of around eight hectares. But good news came on Tuesday: The fire was officially declared after the checkpoints were no longer visible at the checkpoints in the morning and in the evening, such as kleinezeitung.at reported. Along with a light rain that started in the region, the fire brigade managed to control the flames on Sunday afternoon.

For fire fighting, more than 1,000 emergency services were deployed, including firefighters from Neunkirchen and the surrounding area, which were mobilized with over 200 vehicles. Z SIX fire helicopter and special units of the Lower Austrian State Fire Brigade Association supported the emergency services. Thanks to its tireless efforts, the fire could finally be contained, which was relieved in the region, as well as noe.orf.at confirmed.
