Smoke from engine compartment
Major operation due to burning ÖBB locomotive in the Mur Valley
A burning railcar of an ÖBB freight train kept the fire departments in the Mur Valley on their toes. The fire was fought using heavy breathing apparatus.
The incident occurred on Monday on the line between Fohnsorf and Pöls. Thick clouds of smoke were billowing from the engine compartment of the diesel locomotive. The Pöls, Götzendorf and Fohnsdorf volunteer fire departments as well as the Red Cross and police were alerted. A total of 30 firefighters with seven vehicles were deployed.
Fire quickly extinguished, train driver and helper unharmed
The initial attack was carried out by six men with powder extinguishers under heavy breathing protection, then a high-pressure line was laid. The fire was quickly brought under control and finally extinguished.
After a final check with the thermal imaging camera, the firefighters returned to the scene. Fortunately, no one was injured and the cause of the fire is still unclear.
