Landless surfboard triggers a large alarm on Würzburger Mainkai!

A stray surfboard at Würzburger Mainkai caused a large fire service in the night from Saturday to Sunday. As reported by [Radio Gong] (https://www.radiogong.com/aktuelles/news/wuerzburg-surfbrett-fuer-groß-der-fire brigade), the fire brigade received an emergency call about a dented canoe. It was unclear how many people might be in the water, which alerted the rescue workers.

The large -scale operation mobilized various units of fire brigade and water watch. Several boats and deployment divers set out to look for the missing people. However, it quickly turned out at the site below the cattle marketplace: neither a teated canoe nor people were found. Instead, only an older surfboard was discovered.

intensive search with modern means

The emergency services were well prepared and with thermal imaging cameras searched the edge areas of the Main to ensure that there were no people in the water. After intensive review of the environment, the search for about an hour and a half had to be set. It was an assignment that shows how quickly an extensive commitment can arise from a supposedly dangerous situation.

A similar incident recently occurred on the North Sea, as [Sylt1] (https://sylt1.tv/sylt-news-rescue operation wenningstedt/). From around 3:30 p.m., a helicopter circled over the Wenningstedter main beach after an abandoned surfboard was discovered. Rescue vehicles from the fire brigade and water guard moved with Martinshorn. The story repeats itself: two jet kis carried out a grid search at sea, while the DRK-Copter crew used two drones to look for a possible lifeless body. Ultimately, it turned out that the Surfbrett of the South Cape Surfschule was heard and had already been reported two days ago.

unexplained circumstances and risks

As in the North Sea, it was also unclear whether a person had been in need or could even have been drowned. According to unconfirmed reports, abandoned clothing on the beach was spotted, which indicates a possible bathing accident. The rapid reaction of the rescue workers to Sylt was highlighted as positive and gives hope that in an emergency will be traded quickly.

In recent years there have been tragic bathing accidents on the North Sea. These missions are located in the most spectacular stories of the sea rescuers, which are often used in dangerous situations such as fire on board or missing sailors, such as the Shz illustrates. The missions in the North Sea are among the most impressive of the past few years and are a constant reminder for the dangers that lurk in and on the water.
