Fire in Vienna-Donaustadt Affected House in Lobau Foreland

The fire in Donaustadt affected a house in the Lobau foreland. When the emergency services arrived around 6:30 PM, the flames could already be seen from afar. The fire had engulfed an entire facade front. The fire brigade fought the fire under respiratory protection with two hoses from the outside and at the entrance area. A turntable ladder was used to prevent further spread of the fire to the roof. The already affected roof parts were cut open with special saws and embers were extinguished. The building was ventilated with a high-performance fan.

Wooden Building in Vienna-Döbling Went Up in Flames

On a children's playground in Döbling's Greinergasse, a wooden building went up in flames around 10:30 PM. This fire was also extinguished by the emergency services with two hoses in an internal and external attack under respiratory protection. The work was complicated by exterior walls insulated with straw. Using a thermal imaging camera, the firefighters located all embers and extinguished them. The cause of the fire was the subject of investigations in both cases.
