A young deer occupied the fire department in Upper Austria on Wednesday.

The volunteer fire departments of Höflein, Ottensheim, and Wilhering rescued a fawn from the lock area of the Ottensheim Danube power plant (Urfahr-Umgebung district) on Wednesday evening. The young animal likely fell into the water, discovered an opening in the lock wall, and disappeared into it, reported Höflein fire department commander Michael Hammer. Initially, it was not possible to lure the animal back into the water of the lock area from the boat.

Fire Department Brought Deer to Shore

Therefore, the emergency services subsequently opened a shaft from the shore and sprayed water from a tank into the opening from above. As a result, the fawn turned around. In the Danube, it was received by the fire department and brought to the shore by boat. It was handed over to the hunting manager of Ottensheim.
