FF Goch: quick help for horse in mortal danger from Morast

In a moving effort, the volunteer fire brigade of the city of Goch saved a horse that was caught in deep morast yesterday. The incident occurred on Kalbecker and required quick action when the fire brigade was alerted. The message about the animal in need aroused concern and determination of the firefighters who immediately hurried to help.

When the first rescue workers arrived, the situation was dramatic: the horse, a Haflinger, was on the side and was sunk in the morast to the body. The quick reaction of the fire brigade was crucial to free the animal from its predicament. Under the direction of city fire inspector Stefan Bömler, measures were immediately taken to save the horse.

The rescue measures

With a clear plan in mind, it was immediately traded. First, two loops made of fire hoses were led under the stomach of the Haflinger. The aerial ladder was then used to carefully lift the animal and bring it to the edge of the morast. This thorough approach not only granted the security of the animal, but also that of the emergency services.

The entire rescue operation lasted about 45 minutes, and the patience of the firefighters was rewarded: shortly after their arrival, the gelding was back on his own legs. Much suggests that the animal patient survived his involuntary stay in the mud without prejudice. A requested veterinarian who was on site confirmed that the horse was doing well and that it had not suffered serious injuries.

Such dramatic animal rescues are not only a major challenge for the emergency services, but also bring a special emotional dimension with them. The firefighters are not only trained to help people in need, but are also ready when animals need help in difficult situations. It is their tireless effort and their commitment that make the difference in such moments.

The successful rescue of the Haflinger is further evidence of the professionalism and efficiency of the Goch volunteer fire brigade, which is decisive due to its quick reaction and expertise in critical moments. Such missions emphasize the importance of volunteering and show how important it is to be prepared for all possible emergencies.

A great praise applies to everyone involved who acted quickly and prudently during this assignment. The positive news about the rescue of the horse has received a lot of attention in the community, and it illustrates the need to take animal emergencies seriously. The fire brigade is not only responsible for the protection of people, but also provides valuable help in animal welfare.
