92-year-old injured – kitchen fire: workers became lifesavers

Date:

Three workers were saved on Easter Sunday in Raaba, Styria. They had noticed a fire had broken out at a family home near their construction site and had rescued the 92-year-old resident from the flames.

The fire brigades of Raaba, Grambach and Hart bei Graz were alerted to a house fire on Easter Sunday. Three workers, who happened to be repairing a burst water pipe in the immediate vicinity of the house, raised the alarm. But that’s not all: they boldly jumped over the fence and looked to see if anyone was still in the house. They were able to discover the 92-year-old resident and rescue the woman from the burning kitchen through a window.

Heavy smoke from all windows
When the Raaba fire brigade arrived, the chief of operations saw heavy smoke pouring out of all the windows. The resident of the house received first aid and was handed over to the A&E doctor. The fire was fought with heavy respiratory protection and was confined to the kitchen.

The fire broke out in the kitchen of the family home – according to police, the 92-year-old resident may have forgotten a pot of oil on the stove.
