The emergency services were alerted around 5:00 PM. The smoke development was so intense that the ÖBB route between Floridsdorf station and Leopoldau was closed for some time. By 11:00 PM, the situation was under control enough that they could focus on cutting and extinguishing the bales with the company's employees, said fire brigade spokesman Martin Hofbauer. No one was injured.
