An apartment was completely destroyed in a fire on Saturday evening in a multi-family house in Vienna-Liesing. The Vienna Professional Fire Brigade was able to prevent a roof fire, despite a massive flame spread from several apartment windows.

When the alerted forces of the Vienna Professional Fire Brigade arrived at Erlaaer Straße around 10.30 pm, flames were already coming out of the windows, the apartment on the second floor was fully ablaze. Immediately, a fire brigade team with breathing apparatus advanced to the burning apartment with a fire hose via the staircase. With additional fire hoses over turntable ladders, the fire was fought from the outside to prevent the flame spread and the beginning roof fire.
