Fire in Dornbirn: The fire brigade's large -scale deployment after illegal fire

Dornbirn, Österreich - On March 22, 2025, two serious fire events occurred in Vorarlberg, which caused numerous fire brigades on alert. In Dornbirn, two workers lit an unobserved travel fire in the immediate vicinity of the Kobelalpe around 12:25 p.m. The fire quickly spread to an area of around 200 square meters and presented the emergency services with great challenges. Due to the dryness and the steep terrain, the extinguishing rate was difficult. Fortunately, around 150 firefighters, supported by a police helicopter, managed to control the fire in good time without being injured. The exact amount of property damage is currently still unclear how fireworld.at reported.

At another fire town in the forest on the Breitenberg, a fire was discovered on Friday evening, which had been lit at an illegal barbecue area. Unknowns had left the flames unattended, which made the fire spread quickly due to the prevailing dryness conditions and the strong hair dryer. Passers -by reported the fire to the fire brigade, which reacted immediately and informed the Hohenems fire brigade. When they arrive, the fire had already spread over a distance of around 100 meters. In order to delete the embers, firefighters had to be roped with the support of the mountain rescue. Helping drones were used to monitor the situation from the air and take measures immediately, such as Schwaebische.de reported.

The difficult conditions demanded everything from the emergency services, since fire engines only came to the brand of the fire until a distance of 300 meters. Finally, the fire brigade transported around 60,000 liters of water in a total of eight pendulum trips to fight the flames. After intensive extinguishing work, the fire was deleted around 1 a.m. A follow -up check in the early morning will make sure that no embers remain.
