Resident in hospital
Neighbor discovered fire and attempted to extinguish it
A neighbor heard a bang on Monday morning in Gallneukirchen (Upper Austria) - that's how he discovered the fire that had broken out in a structure similar to a garden shed. Four residents had to be taken to hospital for clarification following the fire.
"He immediately started the first attempts to extinguish the fire," reports Markus Plank, commander of the Gallneukirchen volunteer fire department, about the neighbor in question. "Fortunately, we were able to contain the fire and it didn't spread to neighboring buildings," he continues.
Cause of the fire unclear
His team was alerted at around 10 a.m. on Monday because a fire had broken out in an external extension to a residential building. It is still unclear why.
To hospital for clarification
According to the police, four residents had to be taken to hospital to investigate possible smoke inhalation. The facade of the affected house in Gallneukirchen was damaged. According to Commander Plank, the fire department quickly brought the fire itself under control. "We made the final checks with the thermal imaging camera at around 1 p.m.," says Plank.
