Gröbming: Fast use of the fire brigades saves couple from burning house

In the night of Tuesday, November 19, 2024, there was a dramatic fire in a family home on Buchenweg in Gröbming. At 1.27 a.m., the state control center "Florian Styria" informed the fire brigade about the blazing fire in the attic. Seven fire departments were quickly on hand to control the situation.

The couple who lived in the affected house was very lucky. Your neighbor, Dr. Sassan Lachini, who is also a section fire brigade doctor, noticed the fire in good time and acted quickly. He saved them from the burning house before the fire brigade arrived. Neither of the two residents were injured, which is considered a real miracle, in view of the dramatic circumstances.

efficient fire service saves apartments

under the direction of HBI Christian Sotlar, a comprehensive fire -fighting attack was immediately coordinated. The fire brigade was well positioned with a total of 90 emergency services and 19 vehicles. Two important factors made extinguishing work easier. The emergency services were quickly able to carry out an internal attack under heavy breathing protection. Within about an hour, the firefighters managed to control the fire. At 4.07 a.m., “fire from” was finally reported, which culminated the use.

Apart from the outstanding humanity that emerged from the saving couple, the challenges when extinguishing the fire were not to be underestimated. The photovoltaic system on the roof made the extinguishing work significantly more difficult. An area of ​​the tiled roof had to be removed manually so that the emergency services could get to the embers. Support came from a gear ladder vehicle from Schladming, which not only provided lighting for the fire brigade, but also used thermal imaging cameras to locate hidden burnings.

preventive measures still necessary

The entire mission dragged on for three hours, and to ensure that no followers are created, part of the Gröbming fire department remains on site to continuously monitor. The majority of the house could be saved by the rapid action of the fire brigade and the brave rescue by the neighbor. The incident reminds us of the important role of the fire brigade and the courageous skill of the residents to save life.
