No Injuries in Fire at Landesklinikum Hollabrunn

During torch work on the surgery terrace, a joint fire occurred, according to the LGA. The fire department was alerted shortly after 1:00 PM. The emergency services assisted in relocating the patients. Because the smell of fire spread from the basement to the second floor, all floors were ventilated, the district command reported in a press release.

During the firefighting efforts, a wall was opened, and at 3:30 PM, the "fire out" was declared. "The operation in the surgical department is secured again," it was announced in the evening. "The quick intervention prevented greater damage," said Markus Pfeifer, commander of the Hollabrunn fire department.
