Mowing machine tilts in the steep slope: workers injured - fire brigade in action!
On Tuesday afternoon, June 12, 2025, there was a work accident in the steep slope near Süßenmühle, such as Südkurier reported. A company carried out mowing work on a green area between the federal road 31 and an adjacent forest, when a self -driving mowing machine tipped and overturned for reasons that have so far been unexplained. A 34-year-old worker got under the machine.
The alarmed fire brigade Sipplingen made sure that there was no further dangers while initiating the rescue measures at the same time. The rough terrain significantly made it difficult to save the injured person. The 34-year-old could not simply be removed due to his injuries and the slope. The fire brigade therefore used a grinding basket stretcher to gently bring it to a flat surface. The emergency services then took over the further transport to the hospital, where the 34-year-old grazes were treated.
challenges in rescue
As reported in similar operations, the fire brigade also had to fight the conditions of the rough terrain here. In another incident on June 20, 2023 in Georgenborn, the support from the fire brigade was crucial to achieve a fallen person in the forest. A Land Rover Defender was co-tampered to support the emergency services and enable the rescue measures to be able to access quickly, such as Schlangenbad
The emergency services also saw similar challenges in a mountain rescue operation in January 2024, when a person was no longer able to help themselves after a forest accident. Despite the rapid use of several emergency services and the use of lights to illuminate the site, the efforts could not prevent the patient from succumbing to his injuries, such as Dietfurt reported.
In the current case, a second injured person who was not reported to the police could easily be brought out of the danger zone after a medical care without any technical aids. The fire brigade also took care of the damaged mowing machine and the ribbon to avoid an environmental risk.Fire brigade commander Mirko Schirmeister praised the professional cooperation of the emergency services and emphasized how important a quick reaction is in such critical situations. The assignment again showed how great challenges for rescues in rough terrain can be mastered.
