Drama on a leash: Fire brigade saves man from pouring water!
A dramatic incident occurred in Hanover in the early hours of Saturday morning when a 38-year-old man fell into the line and was unable to free himself from the water. The incident happened on Arthur-Menge-Ufer, where the man, apparently out after a party, found himself in a dangerous situation. Despite his distress, he still managed to call 911 and call for help.
The Hanover fire department responded immediately to the emergency call. The emergency services responded with a diverse response team, which also included special water rescue forces. While a first group searched for the accident victim, the regional control center managed to determine the man's exact position using the technical localization of the cell phone. This turned out to be crucial as the caller's initial location information was somewhat inaccurate.
Rescue operation in the river
Wearing special protective clothing, the firefighters who were the first to arrive at the scene set about rescuing the man from the current. Their commitment and experience enabled them to act quickly, which was ultimately crucial to the man's well-being. The rescue operation was successfully completed at around 3:30 a.m.
After the rescue, the man, who was hypothermic due to the cold water temperature, was immediately received by emergency services. He was taken to hospital where his recovery will continue to be monitored.
The police have now launched an investigation into the exact circumstances of the fall. It is still unclear why the 38-year-old fell into the leash. At the time of the incident, 30 fire brigade personnel and a total of ten emergency vehicles were on duty, which shows how serious the situation was assessed by the emergency services.
This incident underlines the importance of being able to react quickly and efficiently in critical situations. Especially in situations where every second counts, quickly locating help can be crucial. The case also highlights the importance of always paying attention to safety, especially after night-time celebrations, to avoid similar tragic incidents.
The Hanover fire department looks back on a successful operation and would like to thank all of its emergency services for their quick response and professionalism. The incident continues to be monitored by the police and emergency services in order to improve future arrangements and prevent such dangerous situations.
