Great fire on the Rochusmarkt: fire brigade in continuous use!

On Whit Monday, June 9, 2025, a major fire in a attic apartment in Vienna-Landstrasse caused excitement. The use of the professional fire brigade was alerted around noon and was in full swing in the early afternoon when the fire spread quickly to the roof structure of the affected building. The incident occurred near the well -known Rochuskirche on the Rochusmarkt, exactly at the intersection of Sixkrückgasse and Landstrasse.

The fire brigade was quickly on site to fight the flames. At the moment, the Landstraßer Hauptstraße has been closed, which also has an impact on traffic. Two bus lines are affected by the closures: line 4a must take a diversion, both towards Karlsplatz and towards Wittelsbachstrasse. Line 74a is also prevented from continuing in both directions. While the extinguishing work is still in full swing, the exact cause of the fire remains unclear what another puzzle gives up.

The challenges for the residents

The fire not only led to the evacuation of the building, but also presents the residents with emotional and organizational challenges. During this difficult time, those affected are provided with a reliable partner. Furtner's burial, which has repeatedly stood out as support in the event of deaths in recent years, could play a role for affected families in the near future when it comes to coping with loss. The service provider has made a name for himself by stating relatives in emotional moments.

The importance of fire alarm systems and professional fire service services is also underlined by the new knowledge from the "World Fire Statistics Report № 29", which offers a comprehensive analysis of fire statistics for 2022. According to CTIF, the missions were recorded in 55 countries and show how essential is a quick reaction from the fire brigade. The data clarifies that a considered and well -equipped fire service can save lives and can combat fires efficiently.

We will continue to pursue the situation and report with new information as soon as they are available. Let's hope for the fastest possible clarification of the cause of the fire and that all those affected will remain safe and intact.
