After fire
Two lanes of the Pfänder Tunnel open again
All safety measures and the rescue chain worked excellently after the fire on the Pfänder on Sunday morning. The fire caused a manageable amount of damage. The badly damaged roadway has since been repaired.
Around 200 people had to be evacuated from the tunnel after a car caught fire in the Pfänder Tunnel on Sunday morning. "We informed the people via radio and loudspeakers. The staff at the traffic management center immediately set the traffic lights to red, the extraction technology and all other equipment worked perfectly," summarizes Alexander Holzedl, press spokesman for Asfinag. In his opinion, the regular exercises by the fire department, Red Cross and Asfinag also paid off. "Everything went smoothly on Sunday and there were no injuries."
Structural engineer on site
As is planned in such cases, the site of the fire was inspected by a structural engineer on Sunday. "It was found that the suspended ceiling was not damaged. However, the road was so badly affected that one lane had to be closed," explains Holzedl. However, the Asfinag employees had repaired the damage by shortly before 12 noon. Since then, two lanes of traffic have been flowing again in the Pfänder Tunnel in the direction of Germany.
