Explosion during extinguishing
Major operation in Lower Austria: gas cylinder explodes
On Monday morning, the fire department had to respond to a massive fire in a detached house in Klosterneuburg (Lower Austria). During the extinguishing work, a gas cylinder also exploded. Around 100 firefighters tried to contain the large fire.
The extinguishing work was extremely difficult. According to fire department spokesman Franz Resperger, the fire was under control in the afternoon.
The flames were prevented from spreading to a wooded area and neighboring properties.
Thick smoke still visible
Resperger spoke of a "massive fire". Smoke was visible from afar. The main problem was the water supply; a several hundred meter long supply line had to be laid.
The extinguishing work is expected to continue into the evening hours. It is still unclear why the fire broke out.
