Firefighting Operation in Seegrotte Hinterbrühl

Several breathing protection teams searched for the source of the fire. Eventually, scorched batteries from tools were removed from the show mine, according to the district command upon request. An employee is believed to have been slightly injured. Parts of the mine were filled with smoke and were ventilated with special equipment. In total, around 100 members from seven fire departments were deployed.

Upon the arrival of the fire department, the slightly injured employee was already outside and was being treated by the rescue team. Employees or visitors were not in danger during the operation, it was stated. The former gypsum mine with a labyrinth of tunnels and passages, as well as Europe's largest underground lake, is open year-round.
