A full-blown fire on a balcony in Vienna-Floridsdorf on Saturday caused a widely visible column of smoke and numerous emergency calls. The fire spread to two apartments, but no one was injured.

The fire broke out on a balcony on Jedleseer Straße, which is structurally connected to two apartments and only separated by a privacy screen. The flames spread quickly and damaged the adjacent living areas.

Firefighting Operation in Vienna-Floridsdorf

The Vienna professional fire brigade responded with a comprehensive firefighting operation. A hose line was deployed via a turntable ladder to break the intensity of the fire and prevent further spread. At the same time, a second hose line was advanced through the building into the fire area.

The flames were extinguished under respiratory protection both on the balcony and in the affected apartments. At the time of the fire, no one was present in the apartments themselves. In adjacent areas, no persons were found during checks by additional respiratory protection teams.

The cause of the fire is currently unclear. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office has launched an investigation.
