In a room fire in an attic apartment in Vienna-Landstraße on Tuesday, the apartment owner was injured.

Closed shutters hinder the firefighting efforts of the Vienna professional fire brigade, and smoke spreads in the upper floors, causing numerous residents to flee to the street.

Vienna Professional Fire Brigade Quickly Extinguished Room Fire in Vienna-Landstraße

The alerted fire brigade immediately laid a hose line through the stairwell to the fire apartment on the 7th floor level and began fighting the fire under respiratory protection. At the same time, the escaped and injured apartment owner received support until the special operations group of the Vienna professional rescue service took over emergency medical care and took the man to a hospital. Other uninjured residents were also attended to. Meanwhile, another hose line was laid to the roof terrace via a turntable ladder, the shutters were removed, and the fire was finally extinguished. A high-performance fan was used to ventilate the stairwell. All adjacent and apartments located below the fire apartment were checked and also ventilated. Reisnerstraße was closed during the operation, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
