At Christmas
Forgotten candle started a fire in the night
Forgotten candles are a great danger, especially at Christmas time. This was also demonstrated on the night of December 25th in the Innviertel (Upper Austria). A fire broke out there. Fortunately, the homeowners were woken up by a loud bang and were able to leave the house in time.
It was around 1.30 a.m. when a homeowner in Wallensham (Upper Austria) suddenly woke up to the sound of a bang. When he looked, he and his wife discovered a fire in the kitchen. He immediately called the fire department and the two of them got to safety.
When the emergency services arrived, the fire had already extinguished itself due to a lack of oxygen. However, due to the heavy smoke, the fire department could only reach the source of the fire with heavy breathing protection.
Quick end
After around 20 minutes, incident commander Stefan Wallner was able to call "fire out" and the firefighters returned to the fire station after a total of two hours. The entire house had been ventilated beforehand.
