Heat lamp set bedroom on fire in Graz
On Wednesday night, the Graz professional fire department was alerted to a room fire in Albrechtgasse. A heat lamp is believed to have ignited the mattress in the bedroom, the occupant was able to escape outside.
It was shortly after midnight when a fire broke out on the second floor of an apartment near Graz City Hall. The Graz professional fire department was immediately called to Albrechtgasse. Fortunately, the owner of the apartment was able to save herself from the flames.
When the firefighters arrived, thick smoke was already billowing out of the windows. Wearing heavy breathing protection, they gained access to the bedroom. Two high-performance fans were used to keep the stairwell free of smoke and ventilate the apartment.
After around one and a half hours, the 25 men and six fire engines were able to leave. The exact cause of the fire is still being investigated by the police; it is likely that a heat lamp ignited the mattress of the bed. Fortunately, no one was injured - the occupant was treated by the Red Cross.
