A father, a phone call, an urgent need for oxygen.
The Oberfprammern fire department didn't hesitate for a second and saved little Sophia (6) from suffocation.
Oberpframmern
– The Oberpframmern fire department saved a little girl from suffocation in an unusual operation.
The child had run out of the medical oxygen he urgently needed and supplies had not been delivered.
Then commander Florian Geßner and platoon leader Michael Marzell jumped into the breach.
They are the living guardian angels of six-year-old Sophia.
Last Thursday, 8 p.m.: Commander Florian Geßner's phone rings.
An excited father is on the line and describes his dilemma.
His daughter urgently needed medical oxygen, which the delivery service had not brought despite ordering it.
Ronny P. (name changed by the editors) describes the dramatic situation to the fireman as the oxygen available is enough for about two hours.
The fire department has four bottles of oxygen and is organizing more
The commander calls his platoon leader for help.
Together they don't hesitate for a second and rush to the fire station.
“Since we are equipped with oxygen for first aid operations, we can use a few bottles,” says Geßner.
“We still had four pieces in stock.”
The father also comes to the fire station and has an empty bottle of his daughter's medical oxygen with him.
“We checked the connections and were lucky that our bottles fit,” says Geßner.
The problem: Even with the oxygen provided by the Oberpframmern fire department, the child can only be supplied until 2 a.m.
“So we called and were able to organize more bottles from our neighboring Harthausen fire department,” says the commander, relieved.
The child's oxygen supply can be ensured until the morning
This ensured supplies until the next day, when the courier reliably delivered supplies.
“It's nice when we can help quickly with small means.
It became clear once again that the fire brigade network can sometimes solve more than it needs to and that we are there for our local citizens in all matters.
We are happy that the little patient survived the night well,” says Florian Geßner.
In any case, little Sophia's parents were overjoyed with the quick help.
The couple praises the “great village community” in Oberpframmern highly.
Sophia's mother Anika P. (name changed by the editors) is sure that this would have been more difficult in a big city.

Ronny and Anika P. are not Sophia's biological parents, they are her foster parents.
The little girl has already had to experience the worst in her six-year-old life.
The girl was abused by her parents as a baby.
“It’s a former shaken baby,” says foster mother Anika.
Sophia suffered brain injuries and needs medical oxygen in times of crisis, such as a severe cold.
“Of course we also thought about going to the clinic,” said Anika P. But the Munich palliative care team that looks after the family reported overcrowded emergency rooms.
“Then the fire brigade came to mind at the last second.
We are so grateful that it worked,” says the foster mother, visibly moved.
