Operation in Styria
Garage fire: homeowner had to go to hospital
The garage of a house in Kapfenberg (Styria) went up in flames on Epiphany. A total of seven fire departments were deployed. The owner of the house had to be taken to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation.
On the morning of Epiphany, the fire departments in and around Kapfenberg were called out to a dicey operation. A fire had broken out in the garage of a detached house in the Kapfenberg district of Graschnitz.
Difficult operation
The extinguishing work was made more difficult by the fact that the garage was full of garbage, especially paper. "The garage had to be cleared out by hand. This required a massive deployment of breathing apparatus teams," reports the incident commander of the Kapfenberg-Stadt fire department - one of seven fire departments that were deployed.
Meanwhile, the owner of the house had to be treated by the Red Cross. He had sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital with suspected smoke inhalation.
