Lower Austria: Farmhouse Fire Engages Fire Departments
A fire broke out on the ground floor of the production area of an agricultural operation, which subsequently ate through the basement ceiling and spread quickly. After preparation by the Seebarn fire department, the team from the Grafenwörth rescue fire truck carried out an interior attack with breathing apparatus. Despite the dense smoke, which made the fire site at the farm fire difficult to locate, it was possible to successfully combat the fire after a short search.
Farm Fire: Fire Department Thanks Walkers
The supply vehicle and the command vehicle meanwhile set up a breathing apparatus collection point in the nearby Seebarn fire station. Additional breathing apparatus teams for post-fire fighting and ventilation actions were made available to the other fire departments. Approximately 45 minutes later, the farm fire was so under control that all units, with the exception of the Seebarn fire department, could leave the scene. "Attentive walkers noticed the rising fire smoke and dialed the fire emergency number 122, which prevented the fire from fully developing. Thanks to luck, civic courage, and the rapid response of the fire departments, the majority of the farm could be saved. Since no one was injured, one could speak of a small Christmas miracle," reports press spokesman Manfred Ploiner.
