Firefighting Operation for Fire in Vienna-Donaustadt

A fire broke out on Tuesday at a storage site next to a former restaurant on the New Danube in Vienna-Donaustadt.

When the Vienna fire brigade arrived at the scene, the storage areas were fully ablaze, and the flames threatened to spread to the neighboring building. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus immediately began to fight the fire with two hoses and a water cannon from a fire truck. At the same time, the building was searched, and no people were found.

Fire in Vienna-Donaustadt Extinguished with Water from New Danube

To ensure the supply of extinguishing water, additional vehicles were alerted, and submersible pumps were used to draw water from the New Danube. The fire was fought with a total of three hoses, partly from the outside under breathing protection, one from the inside, and one from the turntable ladder. The spread to the neighboring building could largely be prevented. On one side of the house, the roof area was opened with a motor rescue saw to extinguish embers. Raffineriestraße remained closed during the operation, and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
