Immediately after he opened the roof hatch, the man collapsed. The emergency call reached the state warning center at 12.15 p.m. Six trained high-altitude rescuers from the Gallspach and Ried fire departments and the local fire department were then alerted to the farm in the town of Wimm. The mission code was “rescue people at height (over 10 m)” because the person had to be rescued from a so-called “Epple” high silo.
According to the fire department, fermentation gases had escaped, causing the farmer health problems. With the help of a turntable ladder, the injured man was quickly brought down from the silo and handed over to the emergency services, according to the incident report. The last firefighters returned at 2:28 p.m.
