Fire brigade saves boys from the scuffing pit - animals remained unharmed!
Sarleinsbach, Österreich - On Easter Sunday, April 21, 2025, a larger rescue operation occurred in the municipality of Sarleinsbach in the Rohrbach district. In an agricultural operation, the stable floor collapsed under the weight of four boys. The approximately 400 kilogram animals plunged into a slurry channel and stood over the stomach in manure.
The alarmed fire brigade moved out to the site with several vehicles and a telescopic loader. The emergency services carried out a systematic rescue in which the young animals were raised with straps one after the other and freed from the yauca. The entire use, which could be carried out directly to the feed table in the stable, lasted about two hours and luckily all animals remained unharmed during the rescue. After completing the rescue work, both the animals and the device used were thoroughly cleaned, reports OE24

Another incident occurred at an agricultural company in Schwarzois, Amstetten. There, a calf crashed into a slurry pit, which made the farmers a big challenge. Since they could not recover the animal themselves, the Ybbsitz volunteer fire brigade was asked for help. This moved out with a vehicle and seven emergency services.
When the fire brigade arrived, it turned out that the calf was unharmed. The rescue was used using lifting belts and two gripping trains. The animal was pulled out of the slurry pit through a narrow opening, which took a total of three and a half hours, such as reported.

Another rescue operation that illuminates the handling of manure and the dangers in it affects an incident in which sows plunged into a slurry pit. Two firefighters had to get into the pit to try a rescue. Unfortunately it turned out that it was not possible to catch the animals in pairs and prepare for the rescue.
A gas warning device did not result in dangerous gases in the pit, but until the hydrocarbon was released when the manure was whirled up. This meant that the emergency services had to leave the pit immediately. A concentration of 12 ppm hydrogen sulfide could be measured, which made the use of heavy breathing protection necessary, such as Agrarheute reported.
These events illustrate the challenges and risks associated with working in agriculture, especially when dealing with manure. The professional reaction of the fire brigade saved life in both cases and brought the animals back safely.
