Faster use of the fire brigade prevents fire disasters in Weiz

On Friday evening, November 29, 2024, a fire occurred in the district administration Weiz. At 7:20 p.m., an alarm was triggered by the fire alarm system in the building, which led to the emergency services to take action quickly.

The Weiz volunteer fire brigade was called to the site with around 30 firefighters and was able to control the fire on the ground floor quickly. Fortunately, there were two cleaning staff in the building at the time of the incident, which were able to evacuate in good time and unharmed by the alarm. These were then looked after by the Austrian Red Cross.

cause of fire is determined

In the coming days, fire investigators will examine the causes of the fire. The first indications indicate that the fire may have its origin in the kitchen. To date, however, there is no precise information about the amount of damage, so that it remains unclear how much the building was affected.

The quick reaction of the emergency services and the functioning fire protection in the building, however, prevented worse things and averted tragic consequences. More details can be found on www.fireworld.at .
