Schottenring under water: fire department in action
On Thursday, a water pipe burst at the intersection of Franz-Josef-Kai and Schottenring in Vienna. Traffic was briefly delayed, but has been flowing again since midday. The operation is still ongoing. The cause of the burst pipe is still unclear.
As fire department spokesman Jürgen Figerl confirmed, the emergency services deployed three vehicles and 17 personnel to deal with the situation on site. In the area of Schottenring 17-25, the street and side streets were several centimeters under water in places.
Extent of the damage unclear
The full extent of the damage and the exact cause of the burst water pipe have not yet been determined. However, there is the potential for significant disruption that could affect both the local infrastructure and neighboring buildings.
Firefighters and teams from the City of Vienna are currently on site and are carrying out systematic checks of the surrounding buildings to identify any potential damage.
