Courageous use saves hangover from wastewater shaft in Kremsmünster

In Kremsmünster, the Krühub volunteer fire brigade has undertaken an impressive rescue operation that revolved around a seriously injured hangover. The incident began when an attentive driver discovered the injured hangover on the roadside and tried to help him. In the meantime, the animal fell into a wastewater shaft about two meters deep, the complex pipe system of which extends over 60 meters and runs in different directions.

The driver immediately called the rescue team of the Schaubenreith Tier paradise in Steinbach am Ziehberg, which arrived at the scene within 20 minutes. Despite their rapid reaction, the team had a challenging situation: the hangover could hardly be localized in the extensive pipe system. The animal rescue group quickly realized that additional help was necessary to safely rescue the animal.

The animal rescue team gave the alarm through the fire brigade emergency call and received valuable support from the Krühub volunteer fire brigade. Different aids such as extinguishing water hoses and nets were used in a joint effort of one and a half hours. Finally, a fire comrade managed to penetrate the hangover and grasp him. During this process, despite gloves, she was bitten so heavily by the hangover that she had to be cared for afterwards.

However, the emergency force showed remarkable use and held up to the animal rescue team until the injured hangover was handed over. This then brought the hangover to veterinary emergency care. The hangover, which is neither neutered nor chipped, suffers from serious injuries to the joints and backs, but is expected to survive. The team from the Schabenreith animal paradise hopes for its early recovery.

Animal shelter Harald Hofner expressed his sympathy for the injured firefighter and wishes her a quick recovery. He also thanked everyone involved for their tireless efforts, which ultimately led to the life of this hangover saved. Such events impressively show how important the cooperation between different emergency services is in emergency situations. Further details on this incident are www.tips.at to be found.
