New lifting harness: Safe rescue for animals in the Aschaffenburg district!
The fire departments in the Aschaffenburg district have made significant progress in animal welfare-oriented rescue. Brand new in use: a modern animal lifting harness with remote release. This makes it much easier to gently free large animals, such as horses, from awkward situations such as pits or mud. This new aid is loaded on the rescue truck crane of the Waldaschaff Volunteer Fire Department and is used for operations throughout the district kfv-ab.de reported.
The operation itself is carried out by a well-rehearsed team who, in collaboration with a veterinarian, carefully cut and secure the animals before they are safely released using a mechanical remote release. This technological innovation is a further building block in the district's long-standing effort to provide targeted technical equipment for rescuing large animals.
Training and preparation as the key to success
The challenges of rescuing large animals should not be underestimated. Emergency services not only face physical danger, but also have to be able to act quickly and safely. This is where regular training comes into play: The helpers are trained by certified large animal rescuers in order to learn how to properly use the new rescue equipment. The training courses include correct behavior in critical situations, various rescue techniques and practical training on the horse dummy, based on the high standards of comcavalo.de.
A look into the future shows that a state-of-the-art training center for technical large animal rescue will be opened in 2024. With over 18 years of experience and more than 2,000 successful rescues, the center will act as a contact point for fire departments, THW, rescue services, veterinarians and farmers. The aim is not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical exercises in realistic scenarios - from rescue from ditches to water accidents. There is more about this on tierrettung-suedbaden.de.
A positive conclusion
With these measures, the Aschaffenburg district is sending a strong signal for animal welfare and the safety of emergency services. The combination of innovative technology and comprehensive training promises to make rescue operations even faster and safer. After the helpers were already alerted to large animal rescues twice in 2025, the new equipment definitely makes the region safer for the animals in distress.
