Room in Brunn am Gebirge Fully Engulfed in Flames

Since his brother had already left the apartment some time earlier, the resident escaped to the outside and called the fire department emergency number. Shortly after, smoke and flames were visible from a room window at the back of the building, leading to numerous additional calls to the fire department emergency number 122.

Volunteer Fire Department Brunn am Gebirge on the way to the scene

In no time, the forces of the Volunteer Fire Department Brunn am Gebirge were on their way to the scene. During the approach, the alarm level was raised to "Fire 3" as it was still unclear at that time whether residents of other apartments were affected and needed to be rescued.
Upon arrival, most of the residents were already outside. The first breathing apparatus team entered the burning apartment through the front door with a C-hose for an interior attack. When the room door was opened, the room behind it was fully engulfed in flames. At the same time, a second breathing apparatus team prepared a hose line on a garage roof at the back of the building to prevent the flames from spreading to the apartments above.

Room door was fortunately closed

Fortunately, the room door was closed at the outbreak of the fire, preventing it from spreading to other rooms in the apartment.
Subsequently, all surrounding apartments were checked by the fire department. No one was injured, only three people, including a mother with her baby, were accommodated in air-conditioned vehicles of the Red Cross during the operation until they could return to their apartments. The Volunteer Fire Department Brunn am Gebirge was in action with 25 personnel and five vehicles for about 1.5 hours. More information here: www.bfk-moedling.at
