Emergency responders successfuly extract lady with injuries
In an unprecedented cross-border rescue operation, the Munich Fire Department came to the aid of a woman injured on the French island of Corsica.
The incident occurred on Monday, August 4, at a vacation home on the island. The injured woman, a Munich resident's mother, suffered a broken foot while gardening.
The rescue chain began with an emergency call from Corsica, which was received by the Munich Fire Department. However, due to the distance between Munich and Corsica, approximately 700 kilometers, and the language barrier, the Munich helpers had to seek assistance through a neighbouring control center near the border.
A German-speaking colleague in a French control center took over the mission data, enabling the Munich Fire Department to coordinate the case effectively. Despite the challenges posed by the cross-border nature of the operation, the injured woman was cared for.
The Munich Fire Department also faced difficulties in contacting national French authorities, including several consulates. However, they were able to work with local Corsican emergency services to ensure a successful resolution to the incident.
The search results did not provide any relevant information about the Munich Fire Department assisting an injured woman on Corsica or the challenges encountered in that process. The article does not contain any new, self-contained facts about the previously mentioned incident.
