The fire tragedy in Graz caused suffering and anxious hours for relatives, and now the wife of a fire victim was also taken to hospital. There is also great concern among the population. A local inspection at the scene of the disaster.
Affected people repeatedly stop in front of the fire ruins on Sporgasse in Graz, lay flowers and light candles. A woman crosses herself. Others, in turn, change sides of the street in shock or move their children: the New Year’s fire drama in the Styrian capital moves people.
“This is just terrible. A young woman is dead and there are so many injured,” the caretaker of the fire brigade shakes her head. When we meet her, she is busy clearing debris from the street, putting up decorations and putting away empty fire extinguishers.
At the same time, people are still fighting for the lives of two fire victims at Graz University Hospital. Surgeon Lars-Peter Kamolz and his team were suddenly confronted with a large number of injured people on New Year’s Day; 21 had to receive first aid.
“We still have two patients in intensive care with severe burns and inhalation trauma,” the head of plastic surgery told the “Krone”. More operations are scheduled for this week. Two injured people are being treated for smoke poisoning in the normal department.
Particularly tragic: a Styrian woman suffered a heart attack, apparently out of concern for her husband, also a victim of the fire. She studies cardiology.
