90 cattle rescued – firefighter (62) attacked by bull during fire

Date:

It was a race against time that firefighters faced on Monday during a major fire on a farm in Tarsdorf. The barn, which housed 90 cattle at the time, caught fire. While rescuing the animals, a firefighter was attacked and injured by a bull.

This operation meant more difficult conditions for the fire brigade’s emergency services. A fire broke out in the vicinity of the training stable on a farm in Tarsdorf. When the emergency services arrived on the scene, the building was already completely on fire. From there, the flames quickly spread to the cattle shed.

Building was destroyed
Under the most unfavorable conditions, firefighters and residents tried to save a total of 90 animals in the open air, and eventually succeeded. Unfortunately, the farm building could not be saved: it burned down completely.

Taken to hospital
While trying to catch the free-roaming cattle, a firefighter was suddenly attacked by a bull and thrown to the ground. The injured 62-year-old had to be taken to the hospital. The fire was prevented from spreading to the apartment building.

Search for cause
Some of the rescued livestock were injured, but none had to be slaughtered. The exact cause of the fire is still unclear. State police investigators and state fire experts are working on the case.
