Buildings in Styria Were Fully Ablaze on New Year's Eve

Two major operations kept the fire brigades in Styria busy on New Year's Eve. In Bad Gleichenberg (Südoststeiermark district), a commercial building was on fire for an initially unknown reason. And in St. Georgen am Kreischberg (Murau district), a residential house including a carport burned down completely, the police reported on New Year's Day. The Styrian Fire Brigade Association also reported 15 hedge and meadow fires.

Commercial Building in Full Blaze

The fire in Bad Gleichenberg was discovered by the 77-year-old homeowner at around 10.20 pm, and shortly afterwards the entire building was ablaze. The eight volunteer fire brigades deployed were in action with a total of seven vehicles and 72 forces, and the fire was extinguished just before 2.00 am. No one was injured in the fire.

Residential House Completely Burned Down

Earlier in the evening, a granary and a carport next door in St. Georgen were fully ablaze, and the fire also spread to the roof area of the residential house. In total, seven volunteer fire brigades tried to extinguish the fire with 103 forces, but the residential house and the carport, in which three cars were parked, could not be saved and burned down completely. The cause of the fire and the amount of damage were initially unknown.
