Batteries exploded: cellar fire in Bregenz
The fire department in Bregenz (Vorarlberg) had to be called out on Wednesday evening: A fire had broken out in the basement of a residential building. The property is currently no longer habitable.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen At around 6.25 pm, the resident of a house in the upper town of Bregenz heard several explosions. As he made his way towards the cellar, he noticed smoke coming from the door to the basement.
He immediately left the building with his family and alerted the emergency services. The Bregenz City Fire Brigade arrived and - equipped with heavy breathing apparatus - immediately began extinguishing the fire. Batteries for power tools connected to chargers were identified as the cause of the fire.
The loud deflagrations of the batteries were probably caused by a technical defect. All objects in the immediate vicinity of the batteries were set on fire. This also caused the heavy smoke development.
Hospitalization
Because so much smoke entered the stairwell, the rooms are currently uninhabitable. However, the family of four were able to find alternative accommodation on their own. The emergency doctor provided first aid to the four people on site before they were taken to Bregenz Hospital.
