Volunteer fire brigade Laxenburg saves hedgehogs and deer from an emergency!

Laxenburg, Österreich - in Laxenburg, Lower Austria, two remarkable animal rescue campaigns recently occurred, in which the Laxenburg volunteer fire brigade intervened. On March 16, 2025, the fire brigade was alerted at 4:35 p.m. when a hedgehog was trapped in a plastic tube about one meter long. Attempts to save the animal without damaging the pipe initially failed. Therefore, after consultation with the Ecoplus company, the emergency services decided to dig out the pipe. After about 20 minutes, the heavily dirty, but living hedgehog was freed and immediately handed over to an animal sanctuary, where he received the necessary care, such as Fireworld.at reported.

As early as August 2024, the firefighters provided another animal in need: a young deer was caught in a fence in the Laxenburg Schlosspark. An attentive walker alerted the fire brigade, who then freed the animal, which is severely limited in its freedom of movement with special hydraulic rescue technology. Despite mild injuries, the deer was housed in a box for animal rescue and handed over to an experienced nursing staff at Johannesplatz for further care. The fire brigade was on site for about an hour with eight emergency services and two vehicles to get the animal to safety, such as vienna.at reported.

Both missions show the commitment and speed of the Laxenburg volunteer fire brigade in dealing with animal welfare. With their courageous use, they not only saved animals from acute needs, but also contributed to the fact that they could get into professional care.
