Poison gas alarm in Neuberg an der Mürz in Styria: On Sunday, the resident of a single-family home suffered carbon monoxide poisoning after apparently fiddling with a heater in the basement. The pensioner had to be flown to hospital by rescue helicopter.
Three fire brigades were warned on Sunday about a carbon monoxide accident in a single-family home in Neuberg an der Mürz (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district). The poison gas escaped into the cellar; according to the first information, the homeowner had previously tampered with the heating, a solid fuel boiler.
A similar accident just two weeks ago
The pensioner may have inhaled large amounts of carbon monoxide and was flown to hospital by helicopter after emergency medical treatment.
Such incidents, especially in connection with heating systems, happen again and again. Just two weeks ago, a family in Leoben was found unconscious in their apartment after a carbon monoxide accident.
