Operation on the mountain
Fire after lightning strike: helicopter firefighting flights
Thunderstorms, some of them severe, also caused operations in the Tyrolean Oberland. Including near Zams, where a lightning strike caused a fire on the mountain on Monday evening. Helicopters were used to fight the fire from the air - "fire out" could only be given on Tuesday morning.
At around 8 p.m., a lightning strike started the fire on the 1305-metre-high Garseilkopf above Zams. On Monday evening, the Christophorus 5 helicopter carried out fire-fighting flights.
"Fire out" in the morning
The operation was then continued on Tuesday morning with the Libelle Tirol police helicopter. The "fire out" signal was finally given in the morning. An area of around 25 square meters had been affected.
In addition to the helicopter crews, the Zams, Zammerberg, Landeck and Schönwies fire departments were also deployed.
