Major fire department operation in Judenburg: On Friday afternoon, a defective central heating stove in an apartment building caused heavy smoke. One resident was taken to hospital.

Shortly after 4 p.m., the emergency services were called to a residential building from which heavy smoke was billowing. On arrival, the firefighters from the Judenburg volunteer fire department discovered that the smoke was coming from a central heating stove that had previously been fired up. The Red Cross responded with several vehicles and took a 66-year-old female resident to Knittelfeld Regional Hospital for clarification. A 68-year-old and a 30-year-old resident were uninjured.
