Rescue at the last second: neighbor discovers helpless man in Pram!

Rescue at the last second: neighbor discovers helpless man in Pram!

On March 18, 2025, a dramatic rescue operation occurred in Pram. Red Cross employees who were traveling with “Meals on Wheels” were unable to get into the single-family home because no one opened the door and there were no dishes in front of the door. During their exploration, they met a concerned neighbor who regularly checked on her neighbor, who had Parkinson's disease and whose wife was in the hospital. When they both looked into the house through a small crack in a blind, they discovered the man lying motionless on his bed.
The situation required immediate action, so rescue workers and the fire department were alerted. Since access through the barred windows was blocked, the fire department used hydraulic equipment to open the garage door and give the paramedics access. It was determined that the man was in an acute, life-threatening condition. He was immediately taken to the hospital in Schärding, where his condition was stabilized and he is continuing to receive treatment. This operation was the Andorf fire department's fourth opening since February 18, and fire department commander Christoph Schaschinger noted that there had been an unprecedented number of rescues in recent weeks.

A spooky neighborhood story

Meanwhile, another story that happened in parallel describes a neighbor caught in a dilemma. He stands in front of his beautiful neighbor's door early in the morning and thinks about whether he should press the bell button. Spurred on by his urges and the lurid material he has collected about her, he mustered up the courage to meet her. While her husband, who usually provides the living expenses, has gone to work, she is obviously preparing for a meeting that promises more than just neighborhood chat. The tension in the air is palpable when he finally rings the bell and the door opens. However, the smile she initially gives him quickly turns to horror when she realizes who is standing in front of her. This unexpected encounter could have far-reaching consequences.

These two stories may seem unrelated at first glance, but both show how dramatic and unpredictable life in a neighborhood can be, whether in matters of health or in the dark corners of human relationships. While firefighters fight for life, another man wrestles with his innermost demons and discovering his secrets.
