One person dies after massive explosion in Graz – Diepresse.com
The fire brigade suspects a gas explosion. The affected house was completely destroyed.
After the massive explosion in a Graz residential building on Wednesday in the morning, the seriously injured man died in the hospital, as the police announced in a broadcast evening. The 47-year-old resident of the affected apartment was able to free himself from the rubble and was subsequently admitted from the rescue to the LKH Graz.
As the Graz professional fire brigade announced, the emergency services were alerted shortly after 9.30 a.m. The building on Roseggerweg is no longer habitable after the explosion. The roof went down, entire walls are missing. The cause of the explosion is not known for the time being, but the fire brigade speaks of a possible gas explosion. 18 rescue workers from the professional fire brigade were on duty. In order to rule out that people were buried, the emergency services used a drone with a thermal imaging camera – at least where it was possible.
The completely destroyed building was officially blocked. In addition, with the multi -gas measuring device and the thermal imaging camera, the site was checked for further possible gas leaks and possible fire spots and fire protection was set up, according to the professional fire brigade. (APA)
