Animal missions of the Munich fire brigade at Easter 2025!

On April 21, 2025, not only animal surprises in Munich took place in this year's Easter in the form of chocolate east bunnies for children, but also numerous fire brigade missions with real animals. Nice weather led to an increased activity of the bee colonies that began to rave. The fire brigade immediately started to collect these flocks of bees in beehives and then hand them over to the beekeeping association in order to bring them to safety. According to fireworld.at there were also some birds that had hooked off in nets and were released by the fire brigade. Injured birds were immediately brought to a special bird clinic for treatment.

A particularly moving use affected a squirrel that was saved from a clogged downpipe of a gutter. As is well known, the rearing of wild animals, especially squirrels, is very time -consuming and requires a lot of experience. Experts, such as those of Eichhoernchen-chutz.de, recommend acting immediately in the event of Wildtian Notor cases and taking the correct help. A call to a foster home can often be decisive in critical situations and possibly save lives.

spring brings challenges

Since spring often goes hand in hand with slipping duck chicks, the fire brigade was also asked to capture these freshly hatched birds, which often breed on roof terraces. The Munich fire brigade reported that it came across an interesting incident when a duck mother refused to go into the animal catch box while her chicks were quickly captured. It took over two and a half hours before the duck mother was finally ready to join her chicks. After everyone was secured, the ducks on the Isar were released into freedom, where they immediately swam into the water.

The fire brigade also often has to do with animals in different operational situations, both in technical aid operations and in the fire fighting. The range ranges from the rescue of small pets such as cats to large and even exotic animals. The dangers associated with these operations vary depending on the animal species. Firefighters must always be aware of the risks that can occur in particular when saving small animals such as cats and dogs. Bite and scratch injuries are common and require special protective measures to protect the emergency services.

When it comes to saving larger animals, such as horses or cattle, experience is required. These animals can react unpredictably in stressful situations, which is why the correct handling and cooperation with experienced veterinarians are decisive. Through targeted training and access to emergency numbers for the animal rescue, the fire brigade can be optimally prepared for such operations.
