While elk "Emil" swam across the Enns on Friday to continue his tour in Upper Austria, a deer on Sunday morning prompted an operation by the FF Ernsthofen on the Lower Austrian side of the river. It was found at a slipway in the reservoir area at the height of Rubring, which was life-threatening for the animal, reported the district fire brigade command Amstetten.

Blanket for Deer

Helpers took the deer, which was also warmed with a blanket, into their care. In coordination with the responsible hunter, the animal was subsequently "released back into the wild at a suitable location," according to the fire brigade.
