Operation in Carinthia
Fire department: “That’s why smoke alarms are so important”
An attentive neighbor noticed the beeping of a smoke detector in a nearby apartment in Althofen (Carinthia). She immediately alerted the fire department—and probably prevented something worse from happening.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen During the night on Saturday, a smoke detector in Althofen began to beep – and at 1:18 a.m., a neighbor noticed it. She alerted the Althofen fire department. When the emergency services arrived, there was already a distinct smell of smoke.
Stove not turned off
"After knocking several times, the apartment owner opened the door. The apartment was already heavily smoke-filled, so a respiratory protection team immediately went in to investigate," according to the fire department. At the same time, the emergency services set up a pressure ventilator. It quickly became clear that the apartment owner had forgotten to turn off the stove – the fire department removed the burnt food and cleared the smoke from the apartment.
Until the rescue services arrived, the apartment owner received first aid from the fire department's medical service. "This operation has once again shown that smoke detectors prevent worse things from happening," warns the Althofen fire department.
