The water rescue teams from Mondsee and Loibihl had to go on two missions on Saturday. A local fisherman (77) capsized in the morning. Then a storm came and the water rescuers had to help a sailboat.
At 7.44 am, the water rescue teams from Mondsee and Loibichl (both Upper Austria) were alerted by the police to rescue people.
A fisherman capsized his boat in the Loibichl area. The pensioner fell into the lake and was not wearing a life jacket. A nearby fisherman (66) from Salzburg heard his calls, came to the 77-year-old’s aid and brought him to shore unharmed. Shortly afterwards, the accident victim’s boat was brought ashore by the water rescue team.
Sailboat rescued during storm
Shortly after this operation at 9:30 am, Geosphere Austria activated the storm warning for the Flachgau lakes and Mondsee. The water rescuers set out on their storm journey and discovered a sailboat that was no longer making any progress. The Loibichl water rescue service brought the boat under tow to the home buoy.
Although located in Upper Austria, the two water rescue locations in Mondsee and Loibihl are assigned to the Salzburg regional association.
