emergencies on Lake Constance: a constant use

A few weeks earlier, similar events had occurred on Lake Constance, such as the Südkurier reported. In September, two passers -by in Friedrichshafen chose the emergency call because a swimmer was said to be no longer visible. A large -scale search was started, which, however, ended without any result. Such false alarms are not unusual and are part of the everyday life of the emergency services on Lake Constance. The alarms show the central cooperation between different organizations, including the water protection police, fire brigade and Dlrg.

The DLRG recorded between 40 and 50 missions in 2023 alone, of which 11 false alarms were. Dealing with emergency calls is of crucial importance. Witnesses should always remember the position where someone may have lost in order to precisely instruct the rescue workers. The search can range from viewing to the use of police helicopters to diving through emergency services.

rescue operations: a challenge

The duration of the search measures depends heavily on the specific case and the testimony of the witnesses. In most cases, these missions can take several hours. The fact that the DLRG Constance has operational divers all year round, who can deploy in 5 to 10 minutes, shows how seriously the organization takes safety on the water.

All rescue workers work together when it comes to establishing an emergency, with even international cooperation with neighboring countries Switzerland and Austria. This cooperative approach is supported by emergency numbers 112 or 110, which should be used to report real emergencies quickly and effectively. While false alarms do not cause any costs for the callers, claims may arise if there is proven negligence.

Overall, the incident in Lindau shows once again how quickly a harmless situation can turn into a life rescue operation and how important clear communication is in emergencies. The rescue workers are always ready to do their best to help people in need and to ensure the safety of everyone.
