Resident in hospital
Apartment in Favoriten was ablaze with flames
Major alarm on Monday evening at Favoritener Hebbelplatz in Vienna: when the professional fire department and rescue teams arrived at the scene, flames were already shooting out of the windows and into the stairwell of an apartment. One woman had to be taken to hospital with smoke inhalation.
The flames were flickering spectacularly from the windows of the apartment on the second floor. The alarm was raised at 7.45 p.m. and the professional fire department with eight vehicles and 39 men as well as the rescue service with several vehicles were deployed. Rightly so, as it turned out. The fire, which raged throughout the entire apartment, threatened to spread to other apartments.
Twelve residents attended to by rescue services
According to spokesman Christian Feiler, the Florianis fought the inferno with an extinguishing line from the outside and one from the stairwell. At the same time, colleagues used a turntable ladder to search the completely smoke-filled façade for residents at the windows. While the occupant had to be taken to hospital with smoke inhalation, a total of twelve people were cared for by the rescue team, four of whom were given oxygen. After one and a half hours, the fire was put out.
