A large contingent of emergency services went to a farm in the municipality of Neukirchen an der Vöckla (Vöcklabruck district) late on Tuesday afternoon: fire had broken out in a workshop on the older agricultural property. The family’s 13-year-old son was nearby at the time and sustained minor injuries, according to police.
It was he who raised the alarm. Seven fire departments from the area rushed to help and were able to prevent the flames from spreading to the empty commercial wing. The last emergency services were only able to return at around 7:50 p.m. The cause of the fire was still under investigation on Tuesday evening be carried out by the district fire investigator and an expert from the fire prevention office for Upper Austria.
This was not the only major operation on Tuesday afternoon in Upper Austria. The fire brigades in the Ried im Innkreis district were particularly challenged: first they had to extinguish a photovoltaic system that had caught fire in Kirchheim im Innkreis, and only a short time later a fire broke out in a warehouse in Lohnsburg am Kobernassierwald.
