Forgotten candles pose a great danger, especially during the Christmas period. This also became apparent on the night of December 25 in the Innviertel (Upper Austria). Because there was a fire there. Fortunately, the homeowners were awakened by a loud bang and were able to leave the house in time.
It was around 1:30 am when a homeowner in Wallensham (Upper Austria) suddenly woke up to the bang. When he looked, he and his wife discovered a fire in the kitchen. He immediately called the fire brigade and the two got to safety.
When the emergency services arrived, the fire had already been extinguished due to a lack of oxygen. However, due to the heavy smoke, the fire brigade could only reach the seat of the fire with heavy breathing equipment.
Quick ending
After about twenty minutes, operations manager Stefan Wallner was able to declare the fire “out” and the deployed fire brigades returned to the fire station after a total of two hours. Before this, the entire house was ventilated.
