Drama in Jeging: children from blazing flames save!

In the early morning hours of February 7, 2025, at 4.09 a.m., a dramatic fire occurred in Jeging, which brought two children in mortal danger. A resident of a neighboring row house complex was woken up by a loud bang and saw flames blazing from the window when looking out of the window at an adjacent house. He immediately alerted the fire brigade, which gained valuable time. At that time there were two children aged 11 and 15 who could be awakened by the ringing of the attentive neighbor and were then brought to safety, as ooe.orf reported.

The two children were brought to the Braunau am Inn hospital after a first aid with injuries. However, the quick reaction of the fire brigade could prevent worse things. Forces of the volunteer fire brigades Jeging and Pfaffstätt, a total of around 35 emergency services, were able to stop spreading the flames to other objects. The fire that was affected was a basement compartment, parts of the facade and garbage cans parked in front of the house. When the police arrived at around 4.30 a.m., there was already "Brand-Aus", as 5min.at reported.

The property damage to the building has not yet been quantified, and the investigation into the cause of the fire is underway. A detailed report on the criminal assessment is drawn up after the surveys have been completed. The residents' quick and courageous action and the efficient fire work were crucial to bring the children to safety in good time and prevent worse.
