Heavy respiratory protection was needed for the emergency services to get the fire in a transformer in Kapfenberg-Diemlach (Styria) under control on Tuesday night. This caused a power outage.

“After the investigation and feedback from the electricity company that the object was dead, the extinguishing work was immediately carried out with heavy respiratory protection started,” reports Jürgen Niss of the Kapfenberg-Diemlach volunteer fire brigade.

The fire was quickly brought under control and extinguished. The system was then checked with a thermal imager and it was finally possible to “shoot out”.
