Roof Fire in Wiener Neustadt Challenged Fire Department

According to the helpers, the flames were quickly extinguished. However, the fight against the embers, which also required opening the roof covering, proved to be labor and time-intensive. No one was injured. According to a statement from the city fire department, the cause was a fire of a bitumen sheet on a roof construction site.

No Injuries in Roof Fire in Wiener Neustadt

Renovation activities had taken place on the affected building on Friday. "Three construction workers who were on the roof at the time of the fire outbreak were able to rescue themselves independently," reported the Volunteer Fire Department of Wiener Neustadt.

Several breathing apparatus teams and two aerial rescue devices were deployed. Almost 40 fire department members were on site. "Due to the proximity of the incident location to our fire department headquarters, we were able to be on site quickly with the necessary number of vehicles and personnel. The source of the fire could thus be reached and extinguished during the spreading phase," summarized operations manager Christian Pfeiffer. "There was no danger to the residents at any time."
