At some point, the straw has broken the camel’s back: during a fire in a shelter for asylum seekers in Steyregg (Upper Austria), the residents danced around the scene of the fire, obstructed the emergency services and attacked the female firefighters. The female firefighters had to be “hidden” between the fire engines. If the fire brigade’s incident command hadn’t reported the incident on their Facebook page, it would have been hard to believe. The emergency services from Streyregg once again had to deploy to a fire in an asylum centre. But what happened on site was unprecedented, even for experienced managers: “… the residents of the asylum centre danced around the source of the fire and prevented the fire brigade from gaining unhindered access to the source of the fire. After the incident commander, chief fire inspector Rudolf Breuer, and the section fire brigade commander of Urfahr, fire councillor Christian Breuer, got out of the emergency vehicles to investigate the situation, they were massively harassed by the asylum seekers and hindered in their work,” reads the fire brigade report. The fire brigade saw no other way than to ask the police for assistance. The asylum seekers shouted around, harassed the emergency services and began to attack them. Unbelievable: seven patrols, including special forces and service dog handlers, had to be deployed to get the situation under control.
Worst of all, the fire brigade commanders had to give the order to “hide” the women between the fire engines to protect them.
Because the asylum seekers then even walked onto the tracks of the nearby Summerauerbahn railway, it had to be closed. The deployment ended around midnight. The fire brigade left – escorted by the police.
