The time has finally come! The "Krone" people of the heart in Carinthia have been chosen and we will be introducing them to you over the next few days. We start with Fabian Buchacher. The man from Gailtal dedicates his life to the emergency services! He was nominated for this in the "Individual" category.

"Even as a child, Fabian always played with fire engines and rescue vehicles - we knew that would be his future career," says Gabi Niescher. And his aunt was right!

Fabian Buchacher (33) lives in Kirchbach im Gailtal and is now not only an emergency paramedic with the Red Cross and a part-time air rescuer, he is also involved as a fire department commander and with the mountain rescue service! "It's all a matter of planning," says the new father, explaining how he manages to juggle all of these roles. "When we're needed, we're there - we just love doing it!"

And that is precisely the reason why Fabian was nominated and honored as a "Krone" person of the heart! "I hope that if I ever need help myself, my nephew will come and get me," wishes his aunt Gabi.
