New Year's Eve in Tyrol: Fire brigade in constant stress with 369 missions!

In the night of the turn of the year, the emergency services in Tyrol were strongly challenged by numerous fires. According to krone.at , the control center Tirol recorded a total of 369 missions from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m., an increase compared to 332 in the previous year. The alarms included 75 fire brigade operations, 289 emergency services and five mountain rescues. The most common causes were pyrotechnic objects that led to fire and injuries. Florian Prosch, an experienced supervisor, reported on a New Year's Eve that was characterized by alcohol poisoning and bumping.

The large number of fires that started in Umhausen-Niederthai at 6.45 p.m. was particularly noteworthy. More fire broke out in Virgen and Steinach on the Brenner. A message about flames in Fiss caused excitement, followed by a balcony fire in Imst. After midnight, the location escalated with an excess of New Year's Eve rockets, which led to the fire of a hedge and four flue gas poisoning in Steinach on the Brenner. Also in Innsbruck, where more than 10,000 celebrations welcomed the new year, there was a rage to five injuries around 4 a.m.
