Fire department in Osterholz-Scharmbeck rescues barn owl from chimney!
A very special rescue operation was carried out in Osterholz-Scharmbeck on August 17, 2025. Passers-by and tenants suddenly heard strange scratching noises coming from a chimney. Curious neighbors and concerned residents quickly agreed: Something had to be done here. The logical consequence was to call the fire department to find out what was causing the noise.
The fire department responded immediately and eventually discovered a barn owl that had gotten caught in the chimney pipe. This is not a common sight, as the skilled and powerful birds are often harder to catch than you might think. But fortunately there was an experienced firefighter on the team who had already worked with wild birds. With his knowledge and skill, he freed the owl, which was anything but injured, but seemed somewhat weakened.
Special measures for animal protection
After the successful rescue, the owl was secured in a transport box. To ensure that all animal welfare regulations were adhered to, the emergency services coordinated with a falconer. This underlines once again how important the protection and species-appropriate handling of wild animals is in such situations.
In the evening the time had come: the owl, which had recovered well from its shock, was released into the wild at the site where it was found. A beautiful sight for all who were present at the rescue and a reassuring sign that the animal could return to its natural habitat.
With a trained eye for such emergencies you can really be lucky in misfortune. Nature lovers and bird lovers in the region are happy about the fire department's quick response and the positive end to the story. This lovable owl will surely fly through the air for many nights to come, while the people of Osterholz-Scharmbeck will talk about the incident for a long time.
While we here in Bremen are pleased about the owl's rescue, there are also interesting developments in other areas. Analysis software is developing on the technological stage Qlik Sense, which enables companies to use their data in new ways. It's incredible how modern technology can be used in completely different areas of life.
The ongoing publications of WikiLeaks about the CIA show how important transparency and security are in the digital world. Although these topics are far from saving owls, they are emblematic of protecting information and living creatures. In this day and age, we should always keep a close eye on our environment and digital landscape.
