Major fire department operation
Grease fire at barbecue: clubhouse on fire
Major fire department operation in southern Styria! A grease fire at a barbecue is believed to have spread to the clubhouse of a tennis club in the Wildon district of Stocking on Saturday afternoon, which was immediately engulfed in flames. Six fire departments extinguished the fire, nobody was injured.
At around 1.45 pm, flames suddenly appeared on the covered terrace of the clubhouse of a tennis club: Grease residue in the drip tray of a gas barbecue had ignited during a barbecue. Despite immediate attempts to bring the fire under control using a hand-held fire extinguisher, the fire spread to the clubhouse. Within a very short time, the building and a refrigerated trailer were fully engulfed in flames!
Major fire department operation: 60 firefighters put out the fire
"Stored gas and CO₂ cylinders were a particular danger for the firefighters. The high outside temperatures of over 30 degrees also made the operation more difficult," Marcel Keutz from the Wildon volunteer fire department told the Krone. Six fire departments arrived with 13 vehicles and 60 firefighters, and the fire was extinguished after two hours. There were 35 people in the area - all were able to get to safety in time and no one was injured.
The total damage is likely to exceed one hundred thousand euros.
