Operation in Alterlaa
Tragedy in Vienna: Woman dead after residential park fire
After the major fire in the Alterlaa residential park in Vienna-Liesing on the evening of St. Stephen's Day, there are now new, tragic findings. According to the rescue services, a pensioner died. The woman was discovered on the balcony of the apartment on fire - according to initial information, she probably died of smoke inhalation.
In the accident, the pensioner's balcony first caught fire at around 22.30, after which the flames spread to several balconies above. The enormous heat also damaged apartments directly above the apartment on fire. The pensioner could only be rescued dead, and a 41-year-old woman had to be taken to hospital due to smoke inhalation.
53 residents evacuated
A total of 53 residents were evacuated from the affected part of the building. Some of the residents were taken to safety in an evacuation bus, while others found temporary shelter in a nearby tennis hall. A rabbit was rescued alive from one of the damaged apartments.
Cause still unclear
The fire broke out on the ninth floor of Block 8C in the late evening of St. Stephen's Day. The fire quickly spread across several balconies, resulting in a large-scale operation by the fire department. However, the emergency services were able to bring the fire under control relatively quickly, so that the operation could be brought to an end at around 4.30 am.
According to the professional fire department, three floors had to be evacuated. The exact cause is still unclear. Investigations are ongoing.
