The fire destroyed the apartment door, leading to heavy smoke in the stairwell. The Vienna professional fire brigade deployed a hose line through the stairwell under respiratory protection, while a high-performance fan provided ventilation. Due to the size of the building and the many apartments, additional fire brigade vehicles from Vienna were requested for support. One person was escorted out of the building as a precaution with an escape filter mask. On the fourth floor, four people made themselves known at the window during the firefighting operations and were rescued using a turntable ladder. An emergency shelter was provided for the family of the affected apartment.
