Great fire in Liesing: 35 those affected urgently receive replacement apartments
A devastating fire in Liesing led to a massive use of the fire brigade on October 9 and made the apartments of 35 people uninhabitable. The complications began on Wednesday morning when a fire broke out on a balcony of a multi -party house on Ketzergasse. This quickly spread to the entire roof structure, which triggered alarm level 3 and mobilized around 100 firefighters with 25 extinguishing vehicles to put the flames.
The extinguishing work drew over several hours and led to the fact that the entire roof and the attic apartments of the affected house were no longer in useful condition. The situation required enforcement measures to support the evacuity in coping with this dramatic situation.
accommodation of those affected
For quick help, the residents concerned were initially offered hotel accommodations, which were provided in cooperation with the property management. A total of 35 replacement accommodations are now available to offer those who have lost their home to a temporary place to stay.
among the evacuated was also a person who had to be taken to the hospital due to suspicion of flue gas poisoning. Fortunately, there were no other serious injuries to report.
The Viennese lines switched themselves into during the operation by providing a bus that served as a temporary lounge for the evacuated residents. At the same time, the local building authority, MA 37, planned together with fire investigators and a construction company to examine the damage incurred and to award the first building contracts.
coordination of the aid measures
In the meantime, a mobile office unit was set up in the meantime to support the coordination of auxiliary measures and the administrative processing on site. In order to maintain hygienic standards, the municipal utilities install a mobile toilet unit. Walter Hillerer, the head of the group of immediate measures, emphasized the importance of the quick support and the good cohesion of the organizations involved."Our top priority was to help people quickly and show them that they are not alone in this difficult time. Thanks to the good cooperation, we were able to stabilize the situation and give those affected the necessary support," said Hillerer.
The fire not only left material damage, but also triggered a feeling of uncertainty among the community concerned. Nevertheless, the quick reaction of the emergency services shows how important communal support is in crisis situations. Despite the difficult circumstances, the newly assigned replacement apartments offer those affected a ray of hope.
For the residents concerned, a long way to restore begins, while the clean -up work in Liesing is progressing. In the next step, the assessment of the damage and the possible construction work to restore the apartments is due. The developments will continue to be followed carefully, while the help for the injured party will continue in the coming weeks. You can find more information about this here .
