Major operation in Lower Austria
Barn fire: nine cattle perish in flames
Firefighters in Kirchberg an der Pielach and the surrounding area were woken from their sleep by a fire alarm on Sunday night. When they arrived at the scene, a stable containing cattle was in flames. The building was completely burnt down and there was no way to save the animals.
The operation for the 140 or so firefighters on the mountain farm proved to be quite difficult. First of all, they had to lay a water pipe about one kilometer long to the Marbach. The St. Pölten fire brigade helped out with a large tanker.
Residential house could be saved
Although it was possible to prevent the flames from spreading to an adjoining residential building by joining forces, the barn burned down completely. Nine cattle died there. Fortunately, the remaining herd was in a pasture at the time of the fire, the Kirchberg an der Pielach volunteer fire department told ORF.
No persons were injured. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
