Gas cylinder on fire
Risk of explosion: 15 residents were evacuated
A fire involving a gas cylinder in Fieberbrunn in Tyrol on Thursday afternoon triggered a large-scale operation involving firefighters, rescue workers, police, a helicopter and specialists for hazardous and explosive substances. Several families had to be evacuated.
The incident occurred on a construction site at around 2.30 pm. A gas cylinder caught fire during scarfing work. "As it was not initially known whether it was a gas cylinder filled with acetylene or propane gas, five houses in the danger zone and the construction site were evacuated," said the police.
15 people were brought to safety. Firefighters from Fieberbrunn and St. Johann extinguished the fire and cooled the gas cylinder. Special forces from the police and fire department were deployed to investigate a possible explosion hazard.
The all-clear was given at around 5 p.m. and the evacuees were allowed to return to their homes. No one was injured in the incident.
