Automatically saved draft
As expected, a heavy thunderstorm front swept across parts of Upper Austria on Saturday evening. 115 fire departments were deployed to pump out cellars, clear roads and extinguish fires. The rescuers and helpers were in action until late into the night.
Mudslides, flooded cellars, flooded buildings and flooded roads were the main reasons for the operations. "In the run-up to the storm, the provincial warning center was increased in terms of personnel in order to be able to process the higher number of emergency calls received together with the neighbouring partner control centres," emphasized the provincial fire service command in an initial assessment.
No casualties
In total, 115 fire departments were deployed in 91 operations. 1700 firefighters were deployed. The storm operations were mainly concentrated in the districts of Braunau, Vöcklabruck, Gmunden, Wels-Land and Linz-Land. Several people were reportedly injured.
