At small animal show
Storm blew down tents: 200 animals were rescued
Several hundred animals such as rabbits, poultry, sheep, goats and ponies were presented at the international small animal show in Arriach. When the strong wind suddenly blew down the event tents, action had to be taken quickly.
Throughout Carinthia, the forecast strong winds caused fallen trees and power cuts. "The Arriach volunteer fire department was called out to an urgent operation during the Arriach Village Days on Saturday", explains the Villach-Land district fire brigade command. Numerous animals had to be rescued.
Tents served as shelter for animals
A squall caught two event tents, one of which could be secured thanks to the rapid intervention of the Florianis: "The second tent was caught by the strong gust of wind and completely destroyed." However, both were used as shelters for the animals.
"In a quick rescue operation, around 200 small animals such as rabbits, chickens and pigeons were brought to a neighboring building. Apart from a few pigeons that escaped, all the animals were rescued," said the district command.
