Men in the water too
Firefighter rescues dog from Vienna’s Danube Canal
A fireman jumped into the Danube Canal in Vienna on Sunday morning to rescue a dog from the water between the Salztor and Marienbrücke bridges. Earlier, three young men aged between 19 and 22 had also taken a night-time dip at the Salztor Bridge. The fire department was also deployed here.
However, when the fire department arrived shortly before 10.30 p.m. on Saturday, the trio had already climbed back out of the water. According to the Vienna Professional Rescue Service, two of the boys were taken to hospital with mild hypothermia.
Dog back with owner
Hours later - on Sunday morning - the next rescue operation took place. As spokesman Lukas Schauer reported, a firefighter with a life jacket and a rope swam to the dog in the water at around 8.30 a.m., grabbed the four-legged friend and was pulled back to the shore in Leopoldstadt by his comrades, where the animal was handed back to its owner.
