It was a last-minute rescue. In Haag am Hausruck, a 51-year-old lay motionless in the basement of a house, smoke everywhere. Before the emergency services arrived, the woman had brought her husband, whose life was in danger, to safety. Four people received medical care.
“Building fire” was the alarm for the fire department. But in the center of Haag am Hausruck there was no fire, only a lot of smoke in a former inn. And that was enough to almost claim a human life.
Apparently, the wood stove in the basement of a house or the chimney was not working properly and the smoke escaped into the building. And the 51-year-old who checked, collapsed in the smoke.
Ready quickly
The fire brigade combed the entire house and there were also emergency doctors and paramedics present. When the Floriani disciples arrived, the chimney had already been closed, the injured man was being brought to safety by his wife, who had found him and pulled him out, and there was no immediate danger. The helpers combed the entire building and ambulance personnel treated a total of four people. Three of them also had to be treated in hospital.
