Floods
Shift change for Vorarlberg helpers
Floriani volunteers from Vorarlberg are also helping in the disaster area in Lower Austria after the devastating floods. Now they are being replaced.
65 firefighters from Vorarlberg will travel to Lower Austria on Wednesday afternoon to relieve the Vorarlberg team, which has been working in the flood area since Monday. The first team will return to Vorarlberg on Thursday night. Equipment, especially large pumps, from Vorarlberg are also being used.
On Tuesday evening, two large pumps from Vorarlberg were moved to Asparn (Mistelbach district). The town is under water, which is being pumped out and returned to the Laabenbach. On Tuesday and in the night to Wednesday, large pumps from Vorarlberg were used to clear critical infrastructure and underpasses in the villages of Dietersdorf and Sieghartskirchen (district of Tulln). The pumps are running around the clock. Another sludge pump from Vorarlberg is on its way to Lower Austria. The fire departments in Vorarlberg are very experienced in dealing with floods and have several high-performance pumps at their disposal, including one of the largest pumps in Austria, which can move up to 8,000 liters of water per minute.
