Stormchaos in the district of Eichstätt: fall trees, drivers unharmed!

A violent storm caused excitement in the Eichstätt district on December 6th. While many people spent the day relaxed, a 43-year-old experienced an unfortunate event at Böhmfeld. It was on the way from Böhmfeld to Schelldorf on the Ei20 district road at around 5 p.m. when a larger branch suddenly broke off from a tree and crashed directly on the front of her vehicle. Fortunately, despite the considerable damage of at least 2000 euros, the driver was unharmed, said .

The storm, however, had a far -reaching effects in the district. The sirens howled in several places within a very short time, and the fire brigades were called for 20 missions. According to district fire councilor Martin Lackner, chaos began at 3:43 p.m., and in less than two hours the fire brigades had to move out in communities such as Appertshofen, Stammham and Böhmfeld. Mainly it was about fallen trees that were quickly removed. In Kinding and Denkendorf, the emergency services also had to deploy traffic accidents in which injuries were also complained about. Due to the large number of these alarms, a operations center in the district building yard in Eichstätt was set up at short notice to improve the coordination of the rescue measures, such as The KFV Eichstätt reported.

Although the storm was quickly over, the fire brigade was well prepared for the sudden challenges. The situation calmed down around 6 p.m., and the operations center was then left again after most missions could be successfully mastered.
