Her colleague, who stayed in the emergency vehicle, asked for help. The assistance team consisted of alpine police officers who happened to be nearby and were well prepared for the situation due to their canyoning training, as reported.

The two alpine police officers Markus Bichler and Andreas Putz, who were on the way to another assignment that day, immediately recognized the danger of the situation and did everything possible to save their colleague.
