Shock to the driver of a car on Wednesday morning in Vienna. At the Praterstern, the vehicle suddenly began to smoke. A moment later, flames were already blazing from the engine compartment.
The driver had to stop the vehicle in the right lane of Franzensbrückenstrasse around 8:30 am. Just a short time later, the car was already on fire near the engine compartment. Flames erupted, as did heavy smoke.
Firefighting work with respiratory protection
The fire brigade had to come. “The smoke was so strong that the extinguishing work had to be carried out with respiratory protection,” spokesman Christian Feiler told krone.at. The fire was quickly extinguished and the vehicle was then checked again with a thermal imager to detect any embers. The car was then placed on transport rollers. It could then be pulled off the road and parked safely.
The action ended around 9:20 a.m., the fire service spokesman said. The cause of the fire is unclear. No one was injured.
