New Year's Eve in Tyrol: Fire brigade in constant stress with 369 missions!
On the night of New Year's Eve, the emergency services in Tyrol were severely challenged by numerous fires. Loud Krone.at The Tyrol control center recorded a total of 369 missions from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m., an increase compared to 332 in the previous year. The alerts included 75 fire brigade operations, 289 rescue service operations and five mountain rescue operations. The most common causes were pyrotechnic items causing fire and injuries. Florian Prosch, an experienced supervisor, reported on a New Year's Eve that was marked by alcohol poisoning and fights.
What was particularly remarkable was the large number of fires that started in Umhausen-Niederthai at 6:45 p.m. Further fires broke out in Virgen and Steinach am Brenner. A report of toboggans in flames in Fiss caused a stir, followed by a balcony fire in Imst. After midnight, the situation escalated with an excess of New Year's Eve rockets, which led to a fire in a hedge and four cases of smoke poisoning in Steinach am Brenner. In Innsbruck, where more than 10,000 revelers welcomed the New Year, there was a fight around 4 a.m. with five people injured tirol.ORF.at reported.
