In Weigelsdorf (district of Baden) in Lower Austria, a fire broke out in a private wood chip plant on Sunday morning.
When the fire brigade arrived shortly after 5.00 am, the building was already fully ablaze. Three fire brigades with around 60 emergency personnel were able to prevent the flames from spreading to an adjacent hall, where a tractor and a diesel filling station were located.
According to the Weigelsdorf fire brigade, the fire was quickly brought under control, but afterwards the fire debris had to be brought outside with a so-called telescopic loader and extinguished. A resident of an adjacent residential building was taken to the hospital on suspicion of smoke inhalation.
