Pfarrwerfen
Fire department deployed for its 100th operation
No time to catch your breath! The Pfarrwerfen fire department had to respond to its 100th call-out this year at the weekend. A record that pushed everyone to their limits.
"We won't be celebrating. It could be a bit quieter," says Peter Buchsteiner with a grin. What does the Pfarrwerfen local fire brigade commander mean by that? He and his comrades had to respond to their 100th call-out this year on Sunday. "That's an absolute record," says Buchsteiner. For comparison: in the past ten years, there have always been between 37 and 88 alarms.
Five cars collided just before the A10 tunnel
On Sunday afternoon, the fire department once again had to respond to a traffic accident on the Tauernautobahn (A10). Just 500 meters before the Helbersberg tunnel, five cars collided in heavy traffic in the direction of Salzburg. Three people were injured. The firefighters were on the scene for just under an hour. "We are always ready. But you can imagine something better than being constantly on call at the weekend," emphasizes Buchsteiner. The day before, the Pfarrwerfen Floriani had already been working on the A10. A small truck caught fire early on Saturday morning and burned out completely - as reported by the "Krone" newspaper.
Why is there so much going on in the tranquil Pongau community this year? The Pfarrwerfen local fire brigade commander doesn't have an answer to that either. "There's a lot going on on the highway - but not just that. We also had a lot of storm damage, a number of wasp interventions and a chlorine leak at a private swimming pool," says Buchsteiner.
The 68 members of the fire department give their all
The fire department in Pfarrwerfen currently has 68 members. The morale of his team is still unbroken, of course. But: "It's hard work, we're a small place. We are working at the limit."
