Father slightly injured
Fire in Vienna: Family escapes from window
On Saturday afternoon, a family of five in Vienna's Ottakring district managed to escape from a window just in time after a large fire broke out in their first-floor apartment.
The devastating fire broke out at around 8 pm in Panikengasse. The fire in the hallway spread so quickly that it was impossible for the family to escape via the stairwell.
Children brought to safety
The parents therefore decided to escape with their three children via a window on the inner courtyard side. The father first jumped about four meters down and then helped the others. The father suffered a laceration and an ankle injury, but was then able to bring his wife and three children to safety.
Entrance door burnt through
When the emergency services arrived, the front door had already been completely burnt through. The fire itself was quickly brought under control and then extinguished. To be on the safe side, however, the entire staircase was evacuated and all apartments were checked.
The injured father of the family was taken to hospital shortly afterwards. The cause of the fire is still unclear.
