Dramatic missions: 13 alarms for the fire brigade Wiener Neustadt ”

A particularly intensive day for the Vienna Neustadt volunteer fire brigade took place on October 4, 2024, on which a total of 13 missions were counted. The morning started early at 5:47 a.m. when the fire brigade was called for a salvage on the A2. The day escalated in the evening with a basement fire at 7:04 p.m., which demanded several emergency services before it ended with a fire alarm shortly before midnight.

From early in the morning to late afternoon, the fire brigade was in use without interruption. Two vehicles had to be recovered after accidents. In addition, the fire alarms had to be checked, animal rescue had to be carried out and technical help had to be provided. The fire brigade also ensured that loose facade parts were removed. This multitude of missions shows the high level of commitment of the volunteers who work for their community.

use on the basement fire

The basement fire in a single -family house in Gröhrmühlgasse caused a special alarm. The rescue control center informed about a person shortly after 7 p.m. The emergency services immediately moved out because this use not only required fire fighting, but also a human rescue.

on site, a respiratory protection team carried out the initial explorations, while the trapped person was saved with a turntable ladder. Christian Pfeiffer, the head of operations, reported on the challenges: "The fire fighting was difficult for a basement fire. The winding structure of the basement and enormous heat made it difficult to use." The fire stove in the heating room could finally be localized via a fire brigade hose.

In order to prevent the smoke from spreading, the building had to be ventilated with compressed fans, which also turned out to be difficult. After almost three hours of operation, the fire brigade was initially ready to leave the site. But as soon as the team was back in the fire station, a traffic accident with smoke and a trapped person was reported. Several vehicles immediately went to the scene of the accident in Hawelgasse and Haydngasse and were able to give the all -clear there. There was no fire and the injured person was handed over to the emergency services.

The night readiness, which was originally planned for October 5, had to move out again shortly before midnight, this time to Bahnhofplatz due to a fire alarm. The alarm once again sounded at 4:45 a.m., this time, this time, this time, this time, this time the alarm was released from an elevator from an elevator to Lazarettgasse.

commitment and operations of the volunteer fire brigade

The Vienna Neustadt volunteer fire brigade is an indispensable part of the community and is committed to around 50,000 people in the region with around 140 volunteers. Every year it makes around 1,300 missions, whereby countless hours flow into the operational and follow -up preparation. In order to relieve the fire service members, a night readiness was set up in 2008. In the course of construction measures in the vehicle hall, additional standby rooms were created, so that six members have been available on the night before before.

These structural changes and the constant commitment of the fire brigade members are crucial in order to be able to act quickly and efficiently in emergencies and in regular fire service. The day of October 4 acts only as another example of selfless service and the professionalism that the Vienna Neustadt volunteer fire brigade shape.
