Four operations at once
Forest fires in April put fire departments to the test
After the unusually warm temperatures at the beginning of April, the first forest and field fires of the year broke out on Saturday: the Florianis in Upper Austria were called out to four locations at once. In Goldwörth, as many as ten fire departments had to respond to a fire in a field.
It is probably unusual for forests and bushes to catch fire as early as April - this happened four times in Upper Austria on Saturday.
The forest fires in Wartberg ob der Aist and Oepping were extinguished quite quickly. In Eggelsberg, three fire departments were alerted to a bush fire.
Fire during harvesting
The largest fire involving vegetation was in the municipality of Goldwörth on Saturday. A fire is believed to have broken out there at around 2 pm during harvesting work. The possible cause of the fire was an agricultural implement.
The wind helped the flames to spread across the entire field. The ten fire departments deployed extinguished the fire from several sides and were able to contain it.
Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries from any of the four fires.
