Valuable barking
Basement fire: Dog alerts the residents
His loud barking was extremely valuable on Monday! The dog of a house in Tröpolach (Carinthia) alerted the residents, who would not have noticed the fire in the cellar for some time.
A fire broke out in a boiler room in the basement of a house in Tröpolach near Hermagor on Monday afternoon.
The dog in the house alerted the residents to the fire by barking loudly. The fire department was alerted immediately. Attempts to contain the fire with a hand-held fire extinguisher were unsuccessful. The fire was already too far advanced for that.
"The alerted Tröpolach, Rattendorf and Hermagor fire departments were finally able to extinguish the fire with two teams wearing heavy breathing apparatus. A total of 50 firefighters were deployed," said Florian Jost from the Tröpolach fire brigade.
No one was injured by the fire. However, property damage of an unknown amount was caused.
The cause of the fire is now being investigated by a police fire investigator together with an expert from the fire prevention office of the Carinthian State Fire Brigade Association.
