Six fire brigades with 130 members were deployed on Monday evening in Gumpoldskirchen (Mödling district) to extinguish the fire. The roof structure of the former tin and lead goods factory had caught fire, reported the district command. The flames were quickly brought under control, even with the use of a turntable ladder.
