There really is nothing that doesn't exist: A couple had chosen the firefighters' parking lot at the operations center in Wiener Neustadt for their tête-à-tête. But then the Florianis had to be called out ...

Shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in the garbage room of a residential complex in Wiener Neustadt. The fire alarm system went off and the emergency services were alerted. A routine operation for the experienced firefighting teams of the Wiener Neustadt fire department.

"Blockade" at the parking lot
You would think so. But as soon as the firefighters arrived at the operations center, they were confronted with an unusual problem. A couple had chosen the fire department parking lot as a supposedly quiet place to cuddle - and the car of the love-hungry couple was blocking the parking spaces of the firefighters.

Love play continued
The two lovebirds were in no way put off by the approaching emergency services and continued their lovemaking unabashedly. "You can't stop yourself when you're alerted to a problem like this," says fire department commander Christian Pfeiffer with a huff, "but it's annoying when the alarm parking spaces are blocked and our firefighters can't access them." Despite the disruption, fire engines made it to the scene of the fire in good time.

Fire quickly extinguished
Once there, the burning waste containers were quickly removed from the building and extinguished. The affected, smoke-filled rooms were then ventilated and checked with a thermal imaging camera to detect any pockets of embers. The cause of the fire is unclear for the time being.
