It was shortly after midnight when the Breitenfurt Volunteer Fire Department was called to a major fire in a Billa branch in Breitenfurt near Vienna (Mödling district) today, Wednesday. The district fire brigade command reported that the flames were brought under control using two turntable ladders and several pipes in an external and partly internal attack using heavy respiratory protection.
However, the follow-up work would “continue well into the present day”.

At the same time as the FF Breitenfurt, the Brunn am Gebirge volunteer fire department was also alerted to the fire in the commercial area of the market town. When the first helpers arrived, the branch was fully ablaze and the operations manager immediately raised the alarm level. The FF Laab im Walde, Perchtoldsdorf, Kaltenleutbaren and Brunn am Gebirge were also alerted.
