Stored in a garage
Upper Austria: Fireworks explode – five people injured
Five people were injured on Thursday morning after fireworks exploded in a garage in Pupping (Eferding district).
A 61-year-old man was woken up by the bang at around 7am. He noticed that the garage adjacent to the house had caught fire due to the explosion. The flames quickly spread to the house where the 52-year-old wife, the children, aged 22 and 20, and the 97-year-old grandmother were sleeping, according to the police.
Man tried to put out the fire
The man tried to put out the fire, but injured himself in the process and was taken to Wels Hospital by ambulance. The grandmother was taken to the Kepler University Hospital in Linz with suspected smoke inhalation and a leg injury. The wife and children were also taken to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation.
A total of seven fire departments were involved in extinguishing the fire, and at 9.45 a.m. it was declared "fire out". For reasons as yet unknown, the fireworks were thermally converted and went up in the air.
