Fire caused by a cigarette
Firefighter saves deaf man from flames
A firefighter became a lifesaver during an apartment fire on Friday evening in Maria Neustift (Upper Austria). A neighboring deaf tenant was unaware that the heavily smoky building was being evacuated - his apartment was forced open. A total of four people were injured in the fire.
A 35-year-old fell asleep with a lit cigarette in his apartment in Maria Neustift at around 10 p.m. on Friday, causing a fire to break out. When he woke up again and noticed the fire, he alerted his flatmates - all of whom were able to leave the building on their own.
Apartment on fire
When the fire department arrived, the apartment was already fully engulfed in flames. Thanks to the rapid intervention of the firefighters, it was possible to prevent the fire from spreading to the entire apartment complex.
16 tenants were able to leave the building - which had suffered considerable damage - themselves. Only one deaf tenant was unaware of the alarm. A firefighter forcibly opened the door to the already heavily smoky apartment and brought the man to safety.
Several injured
The two and three other tenants suffered mild smoke inhalation. The 35-year-old was taken to hospital by an emergency doctor with severe smoke inhalation.
