Kitzbühel, Tirol, Österreich - On May 31, 2025, the fire brigade of the Kitzbühel fire brigade were alerted to technical assistance on the Kitzbüheler Horn. The reason for the use was a cow that had fallen into a ditch and could not free himself. As reported fireworld.at, the fire brigade was brought to support because the situation of the animal brought special challenges.

In addition to the fire brigade, the mountain rescue company Kitzbühel was also alerted in order to ensure that the device is transported to the rough terrain. This cooperation ensured that the rescue was smooth. The assignment lasted around four hours, with a total of 10 firefighters and two vehicles from the fire brigade. Under the direction of Florian Haderer, the mountain rescue coordinated its use.

The cow was finally saved and luckily remained unharmed, as Feuerwehrbjtichtiv.at. Animal rescues require special care because the potential danger can vary greatly depending on the animal species. According to hfuknord.de, the fire brigade is often confronted with situations in which the rescue of animals brings both technical challenges and potential dangers to the emergency services. Large animals and cows can react unpredictably in emergency situations, which increases the risk of injuries.

The emergency services are therefore specially trained in order to safely carry out such rescue operations. Protective measures, such as the use of suitable gloves, are essential to minimize the risk of bite injuries when working with animals. It is important that the firefighters prepare well in dealing with animals, especially in stressful situations, and get to know the local conditions.

The successful rescue of the cow on the Kitzbüheler Horn shows the good cooperation between the fire brigade and the mountain rescue and documents the commitment of the emergency services for animal welfare.
