While the Neuötting fire department took responsibility for rescuing three people from the first vehicle, the Altötting fire department took care of freeing the remaining people and helping the person under the concrete block. With heavy hydraulic rescue equipment, lifting bags and securing devices, the technical equipment was state-of-the-art and played a crucial role in solving the challenges.
Smooth operational coordination
The exercise was supported by the Bavarian Red Cross (BRK), which was on site with an ambulance.

The Neuötting fire department was particularly mentioned for its excellent organization, which was evident not only in the operational planning but also in the provision of a snack after the exercise. This strengthens team spirit and shows how important the human aspects are in the fire service.
Overall, the large-scale exercise was a valuable opportunity for everyone involved to sharpen their skills and train in dealing with complex operations. Such exercises are essential to be well prepared for emergencies and show that the fire brigade is highly qualified not only for fires, but also for technical assistance in different scenarios.
