Fire at 1,000 meters above sea level: Due to a defective electrical appliance, a farm and garage building on the Kamperkogel was destroyed by flames.
The 47-year-old owner was informed of a power failure in the garage by an acoustic alarm on his mobile phone and tried in vain to contain the fire himself with a hand fire extinguisher. The building filled with wood chips in the municipality of Frantschach-St. But Gertraud was completely on fire within a few minutes. A total of four fire brigades were deployed to the high-altitude fire site to extinguish the fire. A very difficult mission for the Florianis from Kamp, Frantschach, Theißenegg and Wolfsberg!
Firefighting water per tanker
Because the site is very remote at approximately 1000 meters above sea level, the firefighting water had to be transported up the mountain by tanker. In addition, a water supply line was installed from a nearby stream. Fortunately, no one was injured. The fire brigade was also able to prevent the flames from spreading to an immediately adjacent sawdust warehouse. However, a vintage tractor, a caravan, a tanker and various agricultural machines were lost in the fire. According to initial estimates, the material damage amounts to at least 100,000 euros.
