The fire brigade brigades are currently particularly challenged in the Leoben area: fires have broken out in different places, a maximum of eight helicopters were or are in the fire. The risk of forest fire is currently high to very high in Styria.
It started on Monday evening: The Eastenerz Fire Brigade was warned on a forest fire in a steep rock wall above Lake Leopoldstein. A lightning strike had set a tree there. Due to the inaccessible location, use was only possible from the air. The same evening around 5000 liters of fire water were thrown away by the BMI helicopter to prevent spread.
“Most demanding conditions”
Sintels were re -discovered on Tuesday during a check -out -flight. Flee Helpers from the Fire Brigade Flight Service Relay North (Aigen in the Ennstal) and East Süd (Kapfenberg) as well as forces of Mountain Rescue Eastenerz were flown to the fireplace by helicopter. “The extinguishing work took place in the steepest wall situation under the most demanding conditions,” the members reports. “Brand van” can be given around noon.
Due to the refreshing wind, the glowresidues floats again on Wednesday at 4.47 pm. There was another alarm with the help of a siren. Helis had to climb again. “Nearly 70 rotations were performed exclusively for falling out with the extinguishing of water. A total of 35 people were deployed. The Sintels could be restricted,” the police said. The work continues on Thursday, people are not damaged.
