Dangerous fire in St. Peter: Fire brigade saves gas bottles!

Last Saturday afternoon in St. Peter in the Sulmtal, district of Deutschlandsberg, an extensive fire operation, which was equally dangerous for emergency services and residents. The alarm took place shortly after 3 p.m. when the fire brigade was called due to a full fire of an outbuilding. Even when the first emergency services arrived, high flames hit the building in which dangerous gas bottles were stored. The risk of explosions was therefore not to be underestimated. A total of 52 firefighters from the surrounding towns of St. Peter, St. Martin and Dietmannsdorf were deployed to control the situation.

The homeowner, who tried desperately to extinguish the fire independently, suffered flue gas poisoning and had to be brought to the LKH Deutschlandsberg. However, the fire brigade was quickly on hand: three respiratory protection teams searched for embers with thermal imaging cameras. Despite the difficult conditions, which were made more difficult by smaller explosions in the fire object, the firefighters managed to locate and extinguish the fire stove with high -pressure pipes. As a precaution, the roof structure was secured with metal supports to ensure the safety of the respiratory protection carrier wearers. The emergency services mastered the challenge concentrated and professionally, whereby the report "fire from" was given shortly after 4 p.m.

after the fire: cleanup and fire guard

The fire guard took until around 5:30 p.m. to ensure that there was no flame for the flames. The fire brigade was not alone in the extinguishing work: the police and rescue workers were also ready to be able to intervene quickly in an emergency. A fireman suffered a weakness during the mission, but fortunately there were no other injuries. The courageous commitment of the firefighters stands for the high level of commitment and commitment in the region.

The investigation into the cause of the fire is already underway to determine what led to this dangerous incident. The situation once again shows how important it is to act quickly and efficiently for fires. While the emergency services took the risks, the security of the residents was at the top.

With such a deployment, the firefighters prove that they are not only well trained, but also have a good knack in dealing with risky situations.
