Heroes of the night: Fire Brigade Gleisdorf saves a person from Brennender Hütte

In the night from Sunday to Monday, November 25, 2024, there was a dramatic fire in Gleisdorf that kept the fire brigade busy. At 1:58 a.m., the volunteer fire brigade Gleisdorf was called for a supposed fire of a dung bucket. But at the scene it quickly turned out that it was a significant fire that affected a garbage island and an adjacent garden hut that was right next to a house.

Over 50 firefighters were on site and fought the flames. The situation was serious because the heat and fire threatened to overlap to the neighboring building. In order to prevent the fire from spreading, both the fire brigade Labuch and the volunteer fire brigade Ludersdorf were alerted. The emergency services had to act quickly to prevent worse things. "The fire threatened to attack the building on the bottom line - one person was saved under heavy breathing protection and handed over to the Red Cross," reported the Area fire brigade association Weiz - BFV Weiz .
