A vegetation fire covering approximately 18 hectares occurred in the Lobau area near Essling on Tuesday, prompting a significant firefighting response.

Additional resources included aerial support from the interior ministry, the OMV company fire brigade, the Red Cross, and police units. The fire affected forest and meadow areas but did not threaten the nearby oil terminal. Authorities reported that the fire was contained within a manageable area and had been cordoned off.
