He knew who he could trust: a Mühlviertler firefighter had fallen and been injured in a seven-meter-deep rainwater basin that was dry due to the drought. He called his commander on his mobile phone for help. He arrived with a large group of specialists.
“I need the fire brigade” – a volunteer Florianijunger in Alberndorf in the Riedmark knew who to call after he fell about four metres from a ladder while working in the seven-metre-deep, empty rainwater catchment basin of the composting plant. He fell from the ladder while climbing into the pool to repair something. Due to the drought, there was barely three centimetres of water or mud in the pool, so he hit hard.
High altitude rescuers warned
But he himself warned the commander of the FF Veitsdorf, Martin Ramerstorfer: “We were quickly on the scene and comrades from two high-altitude rescue bases and a turntable ladder also arrived. “That way we were able to carefully rescue the patient.” The approximately 50-year-old was pulled out of the pool with the help of a basket stretcher and taken to hospital.
