Strong winds fuelled a fire at a storage site in Tribuswinkel, in the town of Traiskirchen in Lower Austria, on Friday evening, prompting a large-scale emergency response.

The blaze spread rapidly across the site, with nearly 100 firefighters from seven brigades called in to contain it, the district command said. No one was injured, and the cause of the fire is under police investigation.

According to the fire service, the site contained plastic containers, wooden crates, and other materials. “Flames several metres high even reached the outer wall of a nearby warehouse,” firefighters reported.
