A 79-year-old man sustained serious injuries in a residential building in Neukirchen am Großvenediger (Salzburg) on Monday. A gas explosion had occurred on the ground floor.
When the volunteer fire department was alerted on Monday afternoon, they found shards of glass spread over a hundred meters in front of and inside a residential building. A man was sitting in front of a house in which there had been a gas explosion. The 78-year-old resident of the house had sustained injuries of indeterminate severity.
Burning gas
Passers-by had given the man first aid and extinguished a small fire with a hand-held fire extinguisher. The fire department used a gas detector to detect flammable gas in the area of a crawl space. The local electricity supplier was immediately called in to disconnect the building from the power grid.
Once an ignition hazard due to electrical sparks could be ruled out, the crawl space was ventilated until no more gas could be measured. The injured man was flown to the Salzburg Accident Clinic by the Alpin Heli 6. The cause of the explosion is now being investigated.
