This is real village life and neighborhood help: firefighters in Ulrichsberg, together with their commander, jumped up from the party when a courtyard in the middle of the city was on fire. The grilled chickens had to wait a day before they were finally served.
Fire in the city!” – The birthday party of the fire chief from Ulrichsberg came to an abrupt end on Saturday evening. “I was sitting in my garage with some friends when a friend came by on his bike and said there was a fire in the village,” says Lukas Schauberger. Within a very short time, 20 comrades were in the fire station – they left before the official alarm went off. The journey was short: “There was a fire right next to our depot, so we got our vehicles to safety before the flames could spread,” said the chief of operations.
Forces from abroad departed
Because a fire raged in the middle of the densely populated city center, alarm level 3 was immediately announced. 17 fire brigades – including comrades from Germany and the Czech Republic – entered. “With united forces we prevented the flames from spreading. Partly thanks to the help and support of the population,” said the commander. Farmers brought precious fire extinguishing water with their slurry barrels and local residents provided the 250 helpers with drinks, snacks and cake.
A faulty fan was the cause of the fire
The fire broke out when unloading hay due to a faulty blower. The service wing burned down completely, the living area was spared thanks to a fire wall. In addition to extinguishing the fire, the fire brigade was also busy salvaging livestock. According to the police, 20 animals could be saved, one cow had to be slaughtered.
After there were always new embers in the hay, the operation continued on Sunday. “When we’re done, we’ll have the chicken we actually wanted to eat on Saturday,” said the birthday boy, looking forward to the end of the demanding assignment.
