Major fire on Tuesday evening in Einöd in the south of Bruck an der Mur: A fire broke out in a 200 square meter garbage dump for unknown reasons. Around 130 emergency services had to be deployed. Fortunately, no one was injured - but the windows had to remain closed due to the toxic smoke.
It was around 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday evening when the local fire department received the major alarm: A fire had broken out in the garbage dump of a recycling company in Einöd near Bruck an der Mur. Eight fire departments (the town of Bruck an der Mur, Oberaich, Picheldorf, Pernegg, Mixnitz, Pöllau, Turnau and the Voestalpine professional fire department) immediately rushed to the scene with 98 men. The police and rescue services were also alerted - in total there were around 130 emergency personnel.
On site, it turned out that a 200 square meter hall was threatening to go up in flames. Huge clouds of smoke were forming over the building. Fortunately, however, it quickly became clear that there were no casualties. "There was damage to property, but thankfully no personal injury," posted the town of Bruck an der Mur on Facebook during the night and called on people to keep their windows closed.
Thanks to the rapid intervention of the fire department, the fire was quickly brought under control, although the extinguishing work continued for several hours. The cause of the fire and the amount of damage are still unknown, according to the Styrian police. "A big thank you to all the emergency services", posted the town of Bruck on Facebook.
