Truck Tractor Fully Ablaze: Fire Brigade Operation on the South Motorway

Around 06:45 AM, the truck driver saw smoke rising from his engine. After he had steered his semi-trailer onto the hard shoulder, he called the fire brigade, which quickly set off for the scene with several vehicles.

Burning Truck Engine Prompted the Response of the Wiener Neustadt Volunteer Fire Brigade

When the first responders arrived, the engine of the semi-trailer was already on fire. The intense fire strength was quickly contained using a foam tube and the fire was subsequently extinguished. Although the engine was completely burnt out, the semi-trailer could be saved. During the direct firefighting attack, the South Motorway towards Graz was completely blocked.

Once the fire was under control, however, one lane was reopened. After the firefighting measures were completed, the recovery of the vehicle began. To facilitate the recovery work, the diesel tank was emptied. In addition, leaked operating materials had to be bound. A private company was responsible for the removal of the burnt engine and the trailer.
