The volunteer fire department from Baumgarten am Tullnerfeld in the market town of Judenau-Baumgarten (Tulln district) placed containers with water for the antlered animal. The official veterinarian expressed concerns about possible dehydration, as Commander Ludwig confirmed according to a report by ORF Lower Austria. "Emil" has been roaming the country as a choice Lower Austrian for a week and a half now.

Fire Department Operation: Water Containers Placed for Moose "Emil"

The operation in the presence of the official veterinarian and the police took place "just before dusk," according to Ludwig. Nine helpers from the FF Baumgarten am Tullnerfeld were deployed and placed several water containers. Whether "Emil" drank, he could not say, the commander told APA on Friday. In any case, the moose had "nibbled on an apple tree." Baumgarten is located about seven kilometers south of the district town of Tulln. Ludwig described it as "nice to see such a wild animal." The many onlookers, however, were less welcome. The commander also emphasized that there is "no active search" for "Emil" by the fire department. But "if we are requested, we are there immediately."

Love for Moose "Emil" Unbroken

The love for the guest from the north is certainly unbroken. The fan page "Emil the Moose," set up a week ago, already had more than 7,000 members by Friday morning. "Is there an update on Emil today?" is a frequently asked question.
