Eleven People Evacuated in Apartment Fire in Vienna-Landstraße

According to spokesperson Martin Hofbauer, the emergency services were alerted to Krieglergasse shortly after 7:00 a.m., where two rooms in an apartment on the second floor had caught fire. Because the apartment door was open, the stairwell was also heavily smoked.

Fire in Vienna-Landstraße was quickly extinguished

The fire brigade evacuated the residents of the second and third floors, a total of eleven people and a dog, to the outside using so-called escape filter masks. Among them was also the owner of the apartment on fire. They were handed over to the professional rescue service. The fire itself was quickly extinguished with two lines in an interior and exterior attack, but the follow-up work took some time. Shortly after eleven, the professional fire brigade returned. 50 emergency personnel fought the fire with ten vehicles.
