From DLRG to the Rescue: Assistance to Over 700 Souls in Saxony
Aid Provided for Over 700 Individuals in Saxony by DLRG (German Lifeguard Association) - Emergency Rescue Service (DLRG) Provides Assistance to Over 700 Individuals in Saxony
You know the drill - lifeguards from the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) were in high demand last year in Saxony, providing assistance in a ton of hair-raising situations. They ended up helping a whopping 710 people, according to the DLRG's report. The situations ranged from dramatic rescues and first aid to wound care and searches for the lost ones. In 33 instances, they played a part in saving lives. Over 18,700 hours went into these heroic efforts, courtesy of the unwavering dedication of the 510 volunteers in the Free State.
Turns out, the year wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Sadly, 16 people lost their lives in swimming-related accidents, as per reports. Compared to the previous year, this is a small but significant increase. Most of these incidents unfolded in open waters: five heroes met their end in rivers, six took a plunge in lakes. A single soul met their demise in a swimming pool. With the exception of one young whippersnapper, every victim was 50 or older. Intriguingly, none of the under-30s faced a fatal swimming accident, just like the previous year.
So, where can you scope out more details?

- Emergency Services: Fire departments or emergency services in Saxony often compile data on accidents, which could offer insights into swimming-related incidents.
- Healthcare: Hospitals or healthcare providers in the area might possess records on accidents treated, which may include swimming-related injuries.
