“The rescue was successful at the last point”, Reinhold Wimmer, the commander of the Irndorf fire brigade, is pleased that everything went well with the fire in Kremsmünster. The emergency call came in just after 10:30 p.m.
A 62-year-old nurse from Romania described there was a fire in the house on the ground floor, that she was trapped on the first floor and could not reach her protégé (80) on the ground floor. The fire service had to act quickly and smashed the window to the 80-year-old’s bedroom on the ground floor: “She was sitting on the bed and gasping for air,” the fire chief reported, explaining how cramped it was as the smoke spread. already from the adjoining room. Here was a bank on fire.
Rescued via ladder
Because of the smoke, the helpers decided not to take the entrapped caregiver outside via the stairwell, but to go outside via a crooked ladder and thus get to safety. The 60-year-olds had to “talk well” to the young people of Floriani, helpers from three fire brigades were present. Finally, the Romanian dared to climb out of the window onto the extension ladder and climb down with the help of a firefighter.
Technical defect of radio
Both women were taken to hospital by the Red Cross with suspected smoke inhalation, and two firefighters suffered minor injuries during the rescue operation. Initial investigations indicate that a technical defect in a radio caused the fire.
