Major alarm in the Flachgau community of Schleedorf: Shortly before midnight on Tuesday, fire broke out in the garage of a car repair shop. Eight local fire departments responded to the adverse weather conditions.
On Tuesday at 11:56 p.m., the Schleedorf fire department was alerted to a fire at a vehicle workshop in the town of Engerreich in Schleedorf. Due to the massive fire incident and the large number of calls to the state warning center, alert level 3 was declared at 0:09 and the relevant fire departments as well as the Seekirchen turntable ladder and the Flachgau emergency control vehicle were alerted.
The fire was fought using six jet pipes and one foam pipe. Two feeder pipes, each 1000 meters and 200 meters long, were built to supply water.
The fire was under control during the night; all outbuildings were protected thanks to the rapid intervention of the fire brigade and were not affected by the fire. Nevertheless, massive follow-up work was necessary and gas bottles were also recovered from the building.
Due to the deep winter conditions, the access roads and the site were heavily icy. The workshop cannot currently be entered as there is an acute risk of collapse. Unfortunately, according to the fire department, three injured civilians with suspected smoke inhalation had to be taken to hospital by the rescue team.
Eight fire departments with 17 vehicles and 129 personnel were deployed, as well as the Red Cross with three vehicles and nine helpers and the police (three people). The extent of the damage and the cause of the fire were not yet known Wednesday morning.
