A man fell into a well over three meters deep while working and was unable to free himself. He was up to his torso in cold water when neighbors heard his cries for help and immediately called the fire department. This quick response from local residents played a crucial role in saving the man.
The Trausdorf fire department was called to the scene with 20 emergency services and three vehicles. When the emergency services arrived, the man was already hypothermic. A firefighter climbed down into the well and secured the person, while the fire department's height rescue group prepared the technical rescue. The man was eventually rescued and remained conscious despite his minor injuries and hypothermia.
