The fire departments of Börrstadt, Sippersfeld, and Winnweiler were called to a rescue operation in Börrstadt involving a person in distress, as the person was believed to be trapped under a tractor.
Upon arrival at the scene, it became apparent that the victim’s leg was trapped under a small tractor that had tipped over onto its side. Using a firefighter’s wheel loader, along with lifting bags, hydraulic rescue tools, and shoring materials, the emergency responders quickly began the process of freeing the patient. The patient was awake and responsive and was cared for by emergency medical personnel throughout the entire operation. Once the patient’s leg was freed, medical personnel were able to treat him immediately. Firefighters then assisted with transporting him to the rescue helicopter (RTH), which took the patient to an appropriate hospital.
The tractor was righted using the wheel loader, after which the fire department was able to conclude its operation. The police were also at the scene.
