New fire brigade rescue boat in Pucking: More security on waters

On October 22nd, an important new fire brigade rescue boat was officially put into service in Pucking. This motorized watercraft, which is now stationed, will be the first of its kind that is available from Thalheim to Linz in the south of the Traun for missions.

The Pucking Hasenufer volunteer fire brigade together with the market town of Pucking assumes an important responsibility in disaster protection. The new boat is used for rescue and auxiliary operations on the TRAUN READ, especially in the area of the power plant as well as on the lakes in Pucking and the Krems, which are located in the area of Ansfelden and Neuhofen.

Mayor Thomas Altof, who is also a fireman himself, was very satisfied with this purchase. He emphasized that this is another crucial step for the security of the population. "After the delivery of the new emergency vehicle 'RLF 4000' a few weeks ago, we have now taken another important step for the security of the population," said Altof. With the commissioning of the rescue boat, it will be possible for the emergency services to provide faster and effective help in emergencies and disasters.

Those responsible have already undergone an extensive training and preparation phase to ensure that the boat is ready for use. The Pucking district can now rely on an additional security measure that will significantly improve the possible uses and the reaction speed of the emergency services.

Overall, the new fire brigade rescue boat will be a valuable addition to the existing equipment and help to further increase safety on the region's waters. There is great hopes that this committed project will lead to strengthening the trust of the population into local auxiliary services and significantly improving the fire capacity of the fire brigade in emergencies.
