Several districts in the southern German region of Bavaria have declared emergencies because of high water levels after downpours led to the death of a Firefighter. The National Weather Service is warning of more heavy rains to come.
The 42-year-old volunteer Firefighter was one of four members whose inflatable rescue boat overturned near the town of Pfaffenhofen, as they attempted to reach local residents who were stranded by the waters. The other three made it to safety, but the body of the fourth Firefighter was found in the water hours later.
Our condolences to all those affected. Rest In Peace.
