Wiener Neustadt: Massive fire detected in the showroom area of the commercial business

Upon closer inspection, a massive fire was detected in the showroom area of the commercial business. The alarm level was immediately raised. A breathing apparatus team entered and began firefighting. The forces that arrived a few minutes later took over the ventilation of the fire room and assisted in firefighting and further inspection.
The area around the showroom was severely affected by the intense heat and enormous smoke development.

Fire could be extinguished quickly

The fire could be extinguished quickly. However, the batteries of an energy storage system affected by the fire kept reigniting, which is why the incident commander called for a tub to be filled with water. The batteries removed from the melted cabinet were submerged in it, as they kept reacting. "According to the thermal imaging camera, the batteries still had more than 400 degrees Celsius after the firefighting, so this was the simplest solution for us," explained Fire Director Christian Pfeiffer.
"The rapid deployment of the fire department prevented the fire from spreading to the planning offices. The server room - as it currently appears - also seems to have remained intact thanks to the quick and professional response, which means our planning and processing activities can likely be resumed quickly," the present managing director of the affected company thanked the fire department.

"The hazard detection system installed by the company detected and reported the fire. The managing director acted correctly and checked, after which the fire department was alerted. If it had not been installed, the fire would probably have been discovered much later, and thus only when the building was fully ablaze," said Pfeiffer.

Technical installations for early fire detection as well as structural and organizational measures of preventive fire protection can minimize damage and the deployment of the fire department. You can get more information from a fire protection planner, a fire protection engineering office, your trusted chimney sweep, or your fire department.
