A fire broke out in an apartment in Vienna-Floridsdorf on Tuesday afternoon. As the spokesman for the Vienna Professional Fire Service, Gerald Schimpf, explained, the fire spread from a room fire to the roof of the building – the resulting column of smoke was clearly visible from afar.
For example, the fire broke out in a room on the top floor of a residential building on Jedleseer Strasse around 12 noon. Emergency services quickly extinguished the flames in the area, but were unable to prevent them from spreading to the roof structure, explains Schimpf.
Smoke column visible from afar
There was a lot of smoke, the smoke column was visible from afar. In addition to the fire brigade, the professional rescue service was also present. An 18-year-old received medical attention at the scene and was taken to hospital with smoke inhalation. Rescue spokeswoman Corina Had said no further injuries are expected.
