Twelve injured
Bruck: Fire brigade called out four times on New Year’s Eve
The Bruck an der Mur volunteer fire department was called out to four locations between December 31st and January 1st. In addition to a room fire and two hedge fires, there was also a fire in the garbage room of a residential building. All the residents had to be evacuated and twelve were injured.
It was anything but a quiet start to the new year for the firefighters in Bruck an der Mur. The busy turn of the year began for them on the morning of December 31 - the Red Cross and police were also called out. A fire had broken out in a kitchen, but fortunately the occupant was able to extinguish it almost completely himself.
Shortly after 6 p.m., the Floriani were called to a hedge fire. After they had retreated back to the fire station, another similar alarm was received shortly before midnight: a firework had started a fire on an embankment near the Schloßberg ascent. "Unfortunately, we only had limited time to admire the fireworks due to our deployment," writes press spokesman Manuel Kilian.
But the biggest operation of the night was yet to come. At 1:20 a.m., the garbage room of an apartment building caught fire. A breathing apparatus unit marched into the building to rescue the residents - the rest of the team immediately began extinguishing the fire.
A total of twelve people were injured in the fire, four of whom had to be taken to Hochsteiermark Regional Hospital with suspected smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire is still unclear, but investigators are already at work.
