Rescue workers shot at on New Year's Eve with fireworks
After the fire brigade, the police and rescue workers were fired from a group with fireworks during a deployment on New Year's Eve in Kranichstein, Mayor Hanno Benz and head of the head Paul Georg Wandrey have sentenced the attack to the sharpest attack and called for a robust response from the rule of law.
They ensured their support to the affected rescue workers. With regard to the next New Year's Eve, the city is examining further measures. "The fact that rescue workers are shot at with fireworks as part of an assignment can only be described as stupid and anti -social," explains Mayor Hanno Benz.
“Such a ruthless procedure, in addition to people who are also in use with their work and especially on public holidays for all of our security and health, is unforgivable and absolutely incomprehensible to me. Now it has to be informed exactly how this could happen, and if the perpetrators are determined, they must feel the full hardness of the rule of law. ”
The head of the head Paul Georg Wandrey also criticizes the attacks sharply, but also indicates the fundamental increase in such offenses: “As a society, we are not allowed to put up with such disrespectful and dangerous attacks on emergency services. They endanger our security and have to be punished immediately. Unfortunately, we have been observing the acceptance of respect and a general brutalization in dealing with rescue, folding and security forces, as the attack on the city police showed last October. We all have to counteract this together. "
In the event of a reported apartment fire in Kranichstein on New Year's Eve, the emergency services were shot at when they arrived at the site. Fortunately, nobody was injured. However, the use could therefore only be processed delayed, as the fire brigade subsequently reported.
