Stock Photo - 10 November 2022, Brandenburg, Brandenburg an der Havel: An EC135 helicopter (chartered by the German Armed Forces) is seen during a water rescue exercise. On the same day, a joint exercise of the Air Rescue Specialists (ARS) of the German Red Cross (DRK), the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) and the fire department took place. Water rescue by helicopter and winch is complex, and the demands on the rescue forces are high. In order to be well prepared for such operations under extreme conditions, the specialized water rescue forces undergo regular training. A total of twelve rescue forces from the German Red Cross water guards from Brandenburg and Saxony, the DLRG from Brandenburg and Berlin, and the Berlin Fire Department rehearsed the emergency on this day with two helicopters from the German Federal Police and the German Federal Armed Forces at the regatta course on the Beetzsee.
