The fire brigade of Rust in Tullnerfeld (Lower Austria) has to go through a difficult path: it is time to say goodbye to a comrade!
A shock wave went through the country when the news of the tragic death of the honorary commander of the Rust fire brigade struck like lightning. Because death had taken one of the most experienced and deserving Florianis from life. And that was the moment when he did exactly what he had been doing with all his strength for decades: helping his neighbor.
Ended up on the basement stairs
As reported, the 76-year-old reservist stumbled down a basement staircase while entering a flooded home and hit his head so badly he could not be revived.
“Essential Member”
There is currently deep sadness at the Red Cross in Atzenbrugg-Heiligenich. “Franz was an indispensable member of our team from the moment he joined us in 1988 until he moved. He was always helpful and had a big heart for his fellow human beings,” the statement reads. Franz was more than just a friend, but a great support. “His dedication, his warmth and his tireless work will be missed,” emphasize the comrades of the local fire brigade.
Next Friday, they will all and probably countless other Florianis from Tullnerfeld will line up when the coffin with the faithful comrade, who was also a deserving member of the camaraderie association, is carried into the church at 1:30 p.m.
Rest in peace, dear Franz, and a last good defense of the “Krone”.
