Gas Cartridge Exploded in Apartment in Vienna-Hernals: No Injuries

Why the gas cartridge, which was apparently intended for a camping stove, exploded shortly after 6:00 PM initially remained unclear. In any case, the apartment owner and his two children were able to leave the apartment independently, as were the neighbor and her two children in the affected adjacent apartment. Fortunately, no fire broke out.

The professional fire brigade shut off the gas supplies to the two apartments, and the apartments below and above were checked. During this, the emergency services found no injuries and no damage. There was also no risk of collapse. The special operations group of the professional rescue service provided emergency medical care to six people.
