Moment in Gaschurn: man falls and is injured life -threatening!

Gaschurn, Österreich - A remarkable incident took its course on the night of May 31, 2025 in Gaschurn, in the Bludenz district. There was a dramatic misfortune around 0:20 a.m. when a man fell out of a residential building for previously unknown reasons and fell on a cast iron flowerpot. In doing so, an outgoing metal part of the flower pot bored into its cheek, which quickly led to great concern.

The local fire brigade in Gaschurn was immediately alerted. With 25 fire brigade members and two vehicles, the emergency services moved in to help the injured person. In order to free him from his predicament, the firefighters use a separator to separate the handle of the flowerpot. This quick and determined action ensured that the man could be quickly brought to safety.

After he was liberated, the man was brought to the State Hospital Feldkirch by the Red Cross for further medical care. A total of five paramedics of the Red Cross were used with two vehicles to ensure the best possible support.

Such operations are not the only challenges with which the fire brigades are faced in Vorarlberg. Even in the days before this incident, there were numerous missions, such as a fire alarm in Bludenz or traffic protection after accidents in Dornbirn, as reported on the Vorarlberg State Fire Brigade Association. During the night that led to this incident, the fire brigade was not only active in Gaschurn, but also had to cope with other missions, all of which are dependent on the quick reaction and courage of the emergency services.

The situation on site

The exact circumstances that led to the fall are so far unclear. While the man's injuries are unfortunate, the incident shows the importance of a well -organized emergency reaction in the rural areas of Vorarlberg. Emergency services such as the Gaschurn fire brigade and the Red Cross are always ready to act quickly and efficiently in critical moments, which was also necessary in this case.

For the people in Gaschurn and the surrounding area, the incident remains an urgent reminder from how suddenly everything can happen. We hope that the man can recover and thank the emergency services for their selfless service in the community.
