Fire brigade discovers Krokodil in the pool - shock ends with dummy!

this morning at 8 a.m. in Constance: A walker discovers a reptile -like head that protrudes from a small pool on the shore of Lake Constance. He immediately raises the alarm, whereupon the fire brigade is immediately called for this unusual use. The initial suspicion of a crocodile is initially confirmed when the emergency services arrived, since only the head is visible. The fire brigade can be found quickly in an exciting, but also difficult situation, since the exploration of the water area is a challenge due to the limited visibility. [BILD.DE] (https://www.bild.de/baden-wuerttemberg/Konstanz-feuerwehr-krokodil-atrappe-im-Tuem--684be05e88586111e27641631) reports on the rapid reaction of the fire brigade, which finally contains.

As it turns out, the excitement was unfounded: it was a deceptively real -designed crocodile dummy that was deposited in the water by unknown persons. The origin of this dummy remains unclear and raises questions. The fire brigade handed over the bizarre find to the Konstanz police for further investigation, and the assignment was ended around 8:45 a.m. This incident once again proves how little the fire brigade is missing in surprises - even if it is not always real animals.

Fire brigade in animal welfare use

The alarm in Constance reminds that firefighters are regularly faced with operational scenarios in dealing with animals. As is well known, the spectrum ranges from the rescue of small pets to exotic animal species. Various missions, such as those in the Hfu Künzelsau, show that the fire brigade carries out both technical assistance and animal rescues. It is striking that security precautions must always be taken with every use: for example, cat bites and other injuries to veterinary services can recover serious health risks.

The firefighters have to make sure that they are well prepared. It is crucial to make yourself noticeable when entering land with dogs in order to avoid unwanted aggression. The inclusion of experienced specialist staff, such as veterinarians or animal experts, is often necessary to minimize the risk, especially in exotic animals. These incidents and experience show how important comprehensive training and well -thought -out emergency strategies are for the emergency services.
