Iron forgotten – father saved his two children from flames

Date:

Heavy smoke and flames – three hours after ironing, a fire broke out in the bedroom. A father (54) in Goldwörth (Upper Austria) rescued his two children (5 and 7) on Wednesday night, who had slept in the next room.

The 40-year-old woman was ironing in the bedroom of the house at around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Then she left the building. She probably forgot to turn off the iron completely – because around 9:50 pm, the 54-year-old husband noticed a lot of smoke and blazing flames in the bedroom on the 1st floor. The children aged 5 and 7 slept in the next room.

Not injured
The children were not injured, the 54-year-old drew a lapel and did not seek medical treatment.
