Forest accident in Dobrein: Seriously saved seriously saved

On September 30, 2024, there was a dramatic forest accident in the Dobrrein, in the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district. A forest worker suffered serious injuries in an extremely steep and rough terrain. The situation required immediate rescue measures, which is why the volunteer fire brigades Neuberg/Mürz and Mürzsteg and the mountain rescue in Neuberg were alerted at shortly before 2 p.m.

The first helpers on site, including fire brigade paramedics and mountain rescuers, immediately took over the first aid of the seriously injured. "We had to act quickly," said the section fire inspector of the Neuberg/Mürz fire brigade, Karl Fritz . He was in contact with the emergency center C15 to give the emergency doctor a clear overview of the situation. The quick reaction was top priority because every second counted.

The difficult conditions in the field made the rescue particularly challenging. In order to safely get the injured out of the danger zone, the emergency services chose a specialized rescue method: "The seriously injured was saved from the steep terrain," confirmed the fire brigade. This technology is particularly effective in difficult and inaccessible areas, since it can ensure the security of the victim when rescue.

The quick and precise collaboration of the various rescue workers was crucial to hand over the injured worker to the care of the emergency doctors in good time. Thanks to the experience and commitment of the fire brigades and mountain rescuers, the injured person was stabilized and quickly transported to the hospital.

Such operations illustrate the dangers that exist for workers in the forest area, especially in difficult terrain. If you have further information about this incident, interested readers can find details in a report on www.5min.at read.
