Rescue plane - ADAC opens "Hungry Wolf" air rescue base
The ADAC air rescue service in Schleswig-Holstein has a new location. Named "Hungry Wolf," this new site is located at the airport in Hohenlockstedt (Steinburg district), as the automobile club announced. From here, ADAC helicopters now carry out their rescue missions and ensure medical emergency coverage for the region.
"Air rescue enables quick and targeted assistance, which in many cases contributes to saving lives," said Schleswig-Holstein's Health Minister Kerstin von der Decken (CDU). Air rescue complements the ground-based emergency services and also provides medical care in hard-to-reach areas. This is particularly important in a sparsely populated region like Schleswig-Holstein.
On duty from sunrise to sunset
According to ADAC, a helicopter with the call sign "Christoph 67" was also put into operation at the new station. Until the completion of a new building, this helicopter currently operates from a temporary station. The helicopter and a backup machine are on duty daily from sunrise to sunset. It can also be equipped for nighttime rescue missions if needed.
