Safe at the quarry pond: Baumheim water rescue service in action!
A sunny day at the quarry lake in Hamlar promises a lot of action and commitment for the volunteers from the Bäumeheim water rescue service. Today, August 17, 2025, the shift for Anna Haller and her team begins at 12:30 p.m. “We have our hands full in the summer,” says Anna, who oversees the operation as chairwoman and guard manager. “In addition to monitoring the bathing area, our team also ensures that all processes run smoothly.”
In order to ensure optimal security service, at least two volunteers must be present. It is gratifying to see that members of the youth group can help and gain practical experience. “We want to train the younger people well so that they know what to do in an emergency,” explains Anna. Before the start of duty, attendance is documented at the integrated control center in Augsburg and the rescue backpack is checked for completeness and durability.
Operation at the quarry pond
Today, on a Sunday afternoon in early June, there are few bathers due to the weather, giving the team a chance to practice. While two Quail Quails are on patrol, the team simulates a training scenario in which one member is in distress and another performs rescue operations. “We use a spineboard to get the person in need of help out of the water quickly and safely,” says Anna, describing the importance of precise maneuvers for a successful operation. Every move counts, especially when things have to happen quickly.
To support Anna, her father Michael Haller, former chairman of the water rescue service, also remains active. The collaboration between experienced and new members of the team intensifies specialist knowledge and ensures that everyone can react quickly in an emergency.
