Emergency with forestry worker: complex rescue
Because a forestry worker suffered a medical emergency, dozens of emergency services had to be deployed to difficult terrain on Saturday.
It was exactly 1.53 pm when the St. Ilgen, Etmissl and Thörl fire departments (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district in Upper Styria) were called out to rescue a person. A forestry worker had serious health problems in the local area of St. Ilgen.
30 firefighters rushed to the scene
His two colleagues had set the rescue chain in motion. A total of 30 firefighters made their way into the snow-covered forest and provided first aid.
The next steps were taken by the crew of the Christophorus 17 rescue helicopter stationed in St. Michael. The patient was flown out of the impassable, steep terrain by rope and taken to Bruck Regional Hospital for further medical treatment.
Another forestry accident in Bad Waltersdorf
Also on Saturday afternoon, a man had an accident during forestry work in Bad Waltersdorf. The accident occurred in a wooded area in the Hohenbrugg district and the man injured his lower extremities. The Red Cross and fire department were called out to rescue the injured man, who was taken by stretcher to the ambulance and then to hospital.
