Hitze hammer at the Frequency Festival: over 100 emergencies in use!
The FM4 Frequency Festival in St. Pölten was launched on Wednesday with great anticipation. The first visitors entered the festival site at 2 p.m., but not without challenges, because the temperatures climbed to over 30 degrees Celsius. As a result, over 100 festival guests from the Red Cross have already been supplied with minor injuries, insect bites and circulatory problems. Five people also had to be taken to the St. Pölten University Hospital, which underlines the health risks in such extreme conditions. The city police commander Franz Bäuchler emphasized that the days in front of the concerts went calm.
The festival attracted numerous visitors, who mostly showed up in light summer clothing, with bikini tops and shorts. During the first appearance of US musician Bartnes Strange, the sound check of the band Scooter was audible, but could not be seen by the waiting guests. Despite the heat, many festival goers sought shadows and made use of the drinking water dispensers provided. The Red Cross was active until the start of the festival and supplied a total of 128 guests.
Heat and health: important precautions
In view of the extreme temperatures and the inevitable exposure to open -air events, organizers must ensure sufficient heat protection. According to [hitzeservice.de] (https://hitzeservice.de/checklisten-fuer-hitzegerechte- event/), you should make sure that healthy eating and sufficient fluid supply are guaranteed. This is a significant duty of care beyond the legal obligation. Drinks should be available at any time to avoid dehydration and other health risks that are particularly increased for children and adolescents.
Another important element are shade -giving structures. Complete shading is rare, but central, visible and barrier -free shade places should be set up. The possibility of cooling down by natural shadow dispensers such as trees or through the sun sail set up is a good measure to guarantee visitors a safer stay.
Recommendations for visitors
The festival goers advised to wear solid footwear and to visit the medical base points or to contact emergency calls 144 in health problems. The recommendation to take non -alcoholic beverages for fluid intake is also underlined, since the increased heat development carries health risks. The sun protection emphasizes the importance that the organizers implement professional security systems and regularly check the effectiveness of their protective measures.
It was recommended to use public transport for the journey because shuttle buses are available. More than 40,000 people are expected on the VAZ site a day, and the Frequency Festival also attracted large number of spectators in recent years. For example, the event counted around 180,000 visitors in 2024.
In summary, it can be stated that special precautions in this heat wave were taken to ensure the security of the festival in this heat wave and that individual responsibility is required when choosing clothing and liquid intake.
