There was a huge contingent of emergency services in Mödring, Horn district (Lower Austria) on Tuesday evening. A barn was on fire in the middle of the city. Even fire brigades 35 kilometers away were called in to battle the flames in the center. “A difficult operation,” emphasizes Horn’s fire chief Sascha Drlo.
On Tuesday there was a major alarm in the Waldviertler district in Horn. A barn completely burned down in the center of Mödring. Although the flames were meters high and much higher than normal, the fire brigade was able to prevent them from spreading to the house and adjacent buildings in the village center.
No injuries
According to initial reports, neither people nor animals were injured in the fire. According to the alarm, there was a solar system on the roof of the shed, which could have caused the height of the flames.
120 members in action
The operation turned out to be “absolutely difficult, as always with fires in the middle of the city,” emphasized Horn’s fire chief Sascha Drlo, pointing to the difficult process of setting up the firefighting water supply. Eleven fire brigades with 120 men were present to tackle the barn’s blaze and protect the residential building and other adjacent buildings.
Large-scale alarm
Even the fire brigade of Waidhofen an der Thaya responded from 35 kilometers away, as can be seen in the photos. The fact that widespread alarm was raised about the fire paid off. The house was saved from the flames and the fire was also prevented from spreading to other buildings. The barn burned down completely. Around 10 p.m. the battle against the large sea of flames was already won.
