Two people - a woman around 30 years old and a six-year-old child - suffered smoke inhalation injuries.

No "Fire Out" Yet in Vienna-Ottakring

The two were taken to a hospital with corresponding symptoms, said a spokesperson for the Vienna professional rescue service. A total of 14 people were attended to, who had already fled outside by the time the fire brigade arrived. The emergency services were able to contain and extinguish the flames, but by 3:00 PM, the firefighting efforts were not yet completed. Hotspots prevented a "fire out" declaration.
