Report


The Winnweiler and Imsbach fire departments were called to Imsbach for an animal rescue. A gray heron had become entangled with one foot in a fork of a tree branch and was hanging upside down at a height of approximately 15 meters. The fire department assisted a hunter and a forester in their attempt to free the bird. However, it later became apparent that the bird had sustained injuries that were incompatible with life, so the hunter on the scene had to put it out of its misery.
