A harmless barbecue in the Mühlviertel (Upper Austria) ended in hell. When liquid fuel was “topped up”, flames spread to a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old. Up to 70 percent of their skin is burned
No, it wasn’t “drunk G’shift” – it was carelessness at a cozy barbecue in Oepping, which ended in a sea of flames and for two people from the Mühlviertel (19 and 20 years) in a fight for their lives. The nine friends sat around an open fire in a concrete table. He burned ethanol. When it ran out, an Arnreiter (20) poured some more from a 1-litre bottle. The already burning liquid overflowed and onto two friends, also from Arnreit, who were sitting on the other side of the fireplace around 9:30 pm.
water from a rain barrel
The boys became living torches. One ran to the nearby rain barrel, where his friends were able to extinguish it relatively quickly with water. The second, however, ran the other way, rolling on the ground but was unable to extinguish the flames and it took longer for the other boys to come to his aid with water too.
Artificial deep sleep
After first aid at the Rohrbach hospital, the fire victims came to special clinics in Graz and Vienna, where they are treated in intensive care. You are in artificial deep sleep. About 30 percent of the 19-year-old’s skin in Graz was burned. The 20-year-old, who is in Vienna, is alive only thanks to emergency surgery. 70 percent of the skin would be burned.
