At Lake Dietrichstein near Feldkirchen in Carinthia, a 65-year-old walked alone onto the frozen ice surface and collapsed. The fire department is asking the public to avoid ice surfaces that are not approved.
The Dietrichsteiner See belongs to the estate of the same name in Feldkirchen. It is used for fishing, but also as a fire extinguishing water reservoir for the fire brigade. On Saturday morning, a 65-year-old woman fell through the ice. “She was still able to hold on to the ice, but could no longer get to safety independently,” the police report. “The fire brigades of Feldkirchen, Schwarzen and Waiern were able to rescue her from the lake.” The woman was taken to the Klagenfurt clinic with severe hypothermia after being treated by the emergency doctor.
“In addition to the volunteer fire brigade with boat and divers, all emergency organizations and the water rescue team with ten emergency services were on site,” reports Wolfgang Germ of the Klagenfurt professional fire brigade, who makes an urgent appeal to the population: “Please do not go on an ice surface in this weather. . “It is currently extremely dangerous if a lake is not explicitly approved.”
