A short, violent thunderstorm on Saturday afternoon also caused a number of deployments by the fire brigade and technical aid agency (THW) in the Weilheim-Schongau district.
District - A woman was slightly injured, there was no major damage to property.
While the THW in Weilheim had to secure the Corona text tent at the Volksfestplatz, which threatened to fly away, the fire brigade was on the move in the urban area to remove branches from the streets and secure trees that, in the opinion of local residents, were threatened with toppling over the integrated control center in Weilheim.
Branches on the carriageway were also reported from the A 95. When the emergency services arrived on site, they had already cleared the drivers aside, reports shift manager Michael Montag. He counted a total of ten missions in the district, but all of them were “not very dramatic”. An accident in a forest near Iffeldorf was ultimately less bad than initially suspected. "Person hit by tree," it said initially. The rescuers then received a woman who had fallen on a branch. Fortunately, according to Monday, she was only slightly injured.

The property damage was generally limited. At Prem, the fire brigade had to deal with a tree that had fallen onto the road near the Sauwald. It had to be blocked on one side.
One or the other tree fell in other communities. So in Steingaden: There, the strong gusts of wind had uprooted a tree, which was sloping at a height of ten meters on the transverse side of a roof area of the former hospital, which is now used as an asylum seeker home. The mighty linden tree had to be removed as quickly as possible to prevent it from sliding sideways in the event of further gusts and thus hitting the entrance area of the home.
Bit by bit, the fallen linden tree was sawn off in Steingaden and finally pulled away from the house in a controlled manner.

In addition, the leaves could not tell whether the roof was damaged. Commandant Leo Eicher's plan was to remove the tree from above, piece by piece. Simpert Christa was brought in as a specialist, who was to secure the work using the Bulldog and steel cable. Luck in misfortune: Only two months ago, the Eicher brothers' local construction business bought a large telescopic loader that was now used.

Piece by piece, two branches were able to saw off the branches in the work basket. The tree trunk itself, with its strong secondary trunk, was too large, which is why Simpert Christa used a steel cable to pull it in his direction so that the two trunks thundered across the building when it fell over
The fire brigade moved out in Penzberg to secure Am Haselberg fences. According to shift supervisor Monday, that was it. The weather conditions did not pose any major problems for the integrated control center. jvr / hh
