Four-month-old baby in hospital after fire
By chance, a resident of an apartment building discovered a cellar fire in Völkermarkt on Thursday. Several residents had to be taken to hospital. Among them was a small child.
It was shortly after 3.30 pm when the owner of the apartment went into the cellar to get some Christmas decorations. Once in the cellar, the man discovers a fire by chance. He immediately alerted the emergency services, who immediately sounded the general alarm. The Völkermarkt, Gattersdorf, St. Stefan ob Haimburg, St. Margarethen ob Töllerberg, Kühnsdorf and Peratschitzen fire departments rush to the house together with the Red Cross.
Fire ladder is used
"Due to the already heavily smoky stairwell, the fire departments had to use a ladder to rescue the residents trapped on the balcony," according to the Carinthia Provincial Police Directorate. Meanwhile, the Red Cross set up a first-aid station where the residents were given initial treatment.
As four of the residents, including a four-month-old toddler, were suffering from smoke inhalation, they were taken to hospital by the ambulance service.
The rescue service set up a first-aid post on site.
