Rescue hero Hans Wurzer: 50 years in the service of humanity!

Hermagor, Österreich - What concerns people in our region? Today we would like to introduce you to the moving story of Hans Wurzer, a long -time paramedic whose passion for the profession has accompanied him for more than 50 years. Wurzer has wanted to work as a butcher at the Red Cross since his time and applied in 1974 after he had acquired a truck driver's license. His journey took him to Vienna, where he completed the training as a state-certified paramedic, as the Gailtal Journal reported.

In his impressive career, Wurzer worked in the emergency services for a total of 50 years, including 36 years in the main office and 4 years on a voluntary basis. After his active time, he continued his service in the meal delivery service and continued to be committed to the community. However, a serious state of health prevented him from continued to work on a voluntary basis. In retrospect, Wurzer describes his time in the emergency services as challenging, both physically and emotionally. He accompanied particularly memorable experiences, such as the treatment of a deer that was hit by a bus while transporting a patient.

dua is a great responsibility

Working in the emergency services brings an immense responsibility. According to Destatis Were employed around 85,000 people in the emergency services in Germany. In the past ten years, the number of full -time employees has increased by 71 %, which illustrates the high demand for specialists in this area. In addition, rescue professions are considered a bottleneck profession, which underlines the importance of training as a paramedic.

In the course of his training, Wurzer also had to complete practical tests. The main focus was on the mediation of skills that are necessary in the emergency services. For example, a clinic internship is also part of the training, which is organized by many schools. The costs and requirements are based on nationwide standards, similar to the training as a paramedic, which explains the DRK Berlin . Internships must include at least 80 hours and 160 hours in a practical frame, whereby no absenteeism is permitted.

a life's work full of memories

Hans Wurzer has covered the route around the world in his career about 70 times without accident. His team, the Red Cross Hermagor, would like to thank him for his decades. In the pension, Wurzer now enjoys the time with his partner Marianne and his dog Ingo while he is maintaining his privately furnished museum.

His story is an example of how joy and grief in life can lie close together, and you quickly notice how important commitment and humanity are in our everyday life. We thank Hans Wurzer for his contribution to society and wish him all the best in his future life!
