Rescue workers in action: Missed man in Cologne See wanted!
Vogelsang, Köln, Deutschland - In Cologne, the rescue workers were used for hours today to look for a missing 22-year-old man in a lake. The search was difficult until noon and was unsuccessful for the time being, as the police and fire brigade announced. In the early morning, however, a 24-year-old woman from the Wassermannsee was saved in the Vogelsang district. She was very cool and had to be taken to the hospital. This woman gave the emergency services the indication that another person was in the water. A piece of clothing found on the bank confirmed this statement by the woman.
Around 70 firefighters, DLRG helpers and members of other rescue organizations were involved in the large-scale search. Equipped with materials such as divers, dogs, a drone, a police helicopter and a sonar, you went to the lake in full strength. The fire brigade operations ended around 11:00 a.m. while the police continued the search. So far it is unclear why the two people went into the water in the dark, and it is also checked whether alcohol or drug use may have been involved. However, there is currently no evidence of external debt.

It is often a challenge in such situations to coordinate both the emergency services and to keep an eye on the safety. David Kögler, an alpine policeman from the Kleinwalsertal, has already experienced many of these emergencies, from accidents to missing people. Such operations are associated with a certain risk, as Kögler also suffered from his last alarm. His experience is invaluable in these critical moments when it often has to be quick.
The tragedy of these days shows how important it is to always be careful in the water and not to underestimate the dangers of alcohol and drugs. The rescue workers will continue to do everything possible to find missing people as soon as possible, and we hope for a positive turn in the current cases.
