Weather - Munich fire department takes stock of the chaos: 785 deployments
The Munich fire department has made an initial assessment of its operations during the snow chaos: the emergency services were called out 785 times over the weekend. The vehicles were even equipped with snow chains, the fire department announced on Monday.
Uprooted trees, damaged overhead lines and vehicles that went off the road kept the emergency services at bay. Fortunately, no people were injured by falling trees or branches, according to the information provided. In addition to all the work, the emergency services also received refreshments: Munich residents often thanked them "with Christmas cookies, drinks or even a simple gesture of gratitude".
