Operation in the Innviertel
Car fire in Upper Austria also threatened fitness center
A burning car in Ried im Innkreis (Upper Austria) kept the fire department busy for two hours. The small car had caught fire in front of a fitness center and was completely burnt out. The helpers were able to prevent the training center from being damaged, but had unexpected problems smothering the flames for good.
The fire department was able to secure the building, in whose parking lot the fire broke out shortly before 2 p.m., fairly quickly. But the fire showed its stubborn side.
Fuel vapors ignited
Although two breathing apparatus teams fought the flames, they flared up again and again. The reason: the fuel tank was full and the fuel vapors kept igniting, even when there were no more flames to be seen. Finally, the emergency services flooded the car with extinguishing foam and smothered the flames for good.
