Another fire in Minihof-Liebau

This scene is reminiscent of a similar incident on January 14, 2022, when community fire departments were called to an apartment fire in a building before 7:00 a.m. Smoke was discovered at the back of the house, which led to the rapid deployment of a respiratory protection team. The fire in the sauna was quickly extinguished and the firefighters then checked with a thermal imaging camera to ensure that no embers remained. No one was injured because the homeowner was able to get to safety in time. A total of 33 members of the fire brigade, the section fire brigade commander ABI Ing. Michael Gombotz and Mayor Helmut Sampt were involved in this operation, as reported by feuerwehren.at reported.
