Large -scale operation of the fire brigade: Roof fire leads to road closures in Landstrasse!

On Whit Monday, a fire in a attic apartment in the Vienna district of Landstrasse caused excitement and large -scale use of the fire brigade. The Viennese professional fire brigade moved out to the fire in the early afternoon, which quickly spread to the entire roof structure. While the operation continued, the Landstraßer Hauptstraße remained closed, which led to significant diversions in public transport. Two bus lines, including line 4a, could not drive in this area because they had to be diverted between Löwengasse and Hungargasse as well as between Ziehrerplatz and Rasumofskygasse. Line 74a was also affected and was prevented from continuing in both directions, as puls24 reported.

The exact cause of the fire is currently still unclear and the fire brigade did everything possible to control the situation. Fortunately, there has been no personal injury so far, but the spread of the fire was a considerable danger. For the fact that everyone involved had to act quickly and effectively, the emergency services were apparently on hand with a good hand.

The effects on traffic

The strong restriction in public transport was not only available for the bus lines mentioned, but also for the surrounding area of ​​the fire location. Drivers and passengers had to be patient because the detours caused considerable confusion. The Viennese lines are dependent on the punctuality of their buses every day, and such operations are always a challenge that also affects the patient passengers.
