A spectacular firefighting operation took place on Saturday morning in downtown Vienna. The professional fire brigade was called to Bösendorferstraße around 8:00 a.m., where a car had caught fire after the driver had parked the vehicle.

A technical defect is likely to have been the cause. Upon the arrival of the fire brigade, the vehicle was already fully engulfed in flames "and could not be saved," as fire department spokesman Christian Feiler explained to the APA.

The fire brigade extinguished the flames and prevented the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings or other parked cars. There was no danger to the residents. However, the column of smoke caused considerable attention.
