House fire in Kronstorf: Resident (82) saved herself from the flames

The house caught fire around 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, probably due to a deflagration in the area of ​​the oil furnace. The 82-year-old noticed a strong development of smoke and flames in the area of ​​​​the stove, then she fled the house. She was covered in soot and received first aid from her neighbors before being taken to the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Clinic in Steyr by the ambulance for treatment. While the accident ended lightly for the woman, a cat could not be saved.

A total of 31 forces from the Kronstorf and Hargelsberg fire brigades were involved in the operation. The Harr-Landesstraße was completely closed on a two-kilometer section until 6:30 p.m.
