In a swift and coordinated response, local rescue teams in Kamp-Lintfort sprang into action last Friday at Panoramabad-Pappelsee. The incident involved a swimmer in distress near a three-meter diving tower.

The emergency situation prompted the immediate mobilization of lifeguards, emergency medical responders, and even a professional firefighter, who happened to be present. The joint rescue operation was a testament to the importance of coordinated responses in water rescue emergencies.

Immediate first aid was administered on site, focusing on airway management, breathing support, and circulation assessment.

Communication between rescue units and emergency medical services ensured swift care, with emergency paramedics called to provide further medical attention. A rescue helicopter was even requested to transport the injured person.

Through their joint effort, the initial care of the young man was ensured, onlookers were kept away from the scene, and the pool continued operating for other guests. Dr. Christoph Müllmann, the operations manager, expressed gratitude to all those involved in the rescue chain for their exceptional work.

The annual risk prevention and first aid refresher courses were mentioned as contributing to the young man's rescue.
