"As fast as a professional fire brigade", was the praise from fire brigade commander and fire director of Wiener Neustadt, Christian Pfeiffer, who was in the fire station at the time of the alarm, for "his" fire brigade colleagues. "The emergency call came in, the dispatcher activated the house alarm and we were able to send two fully occupied fire trucks and a command vehicle to the fire within two minutes," said Pfeiffer.

Rapid Response Prevents Full Fire of a Garbage Island

When they arrived at the scene, they discovered a burning pile of garbage in front of the garbage island and a fully burning large garbage container in the garbage island itself. Immediately upon their arrival, a breathing apparatus team began the extinguishing work by laying a fire hose and first extinguishing the smaller pile of garbage in front of the entrance to the garbage island. They then penetrated the area of the garbage island and extinguished the container. Shortly after the fire hose was laid, the second vehicle arrived. Incident commander Christian Pfeiffer examined the surrounding situation and several fire brigade colleagues ensured that curious neighbors closed their windows to prevent the ingress of smoke. "The fire smoke is not to be underestimated and is extremely dangerous," Pfeiffer adds. The fire was quickly extinguished, but one garbage container was completely destroyed, while the remaining garbage containers remained intact. The police present began investigations.
