The fire in Noßbergerstraße was on the 2nd floor of an apartment building in the center of Linz. An extinguishing attack was initiated via the empty fire water riser installed on site and the fire was quickly put out. No one was injured.

Escape routes kept clear
Thanks to the effective smoke extraction concept, the escape route was kept free of dangerous smoke gases at all times and no one was in acute danger.
