Roof Fire in Vienna Multi-Party Residential Building: Firefighters Battled the Flames All Night

The fire broke out shortly after midnight in the area of a rooftop terrace. The fire spread unnoticed to the adjacent apartment and the roof structure. The fire department was on site with 35 personnel and eight emergency vehicles. Three fire hoses, running inside through the stairwell and outside via a telescopic mast platform and a turntable ladder, and a water cannon were used. Drones also provided a thermal image, which was used to determine how far the fire had already spread in the roof structure. Using special cutting saws, the roof structure was opened at these points and the fire was then specifically extinguished.

Vienna Fire Department in Action Until Morning Hours

The fire was contained early Thursday around 4:30 AM, with the follow-up extinguishing work lasting until about 7:30 AM. On Thursday morning, security work was still being carried out.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation on Thursday morning, the Vienna fire department announced via a press release. There were no injuries.
