At the beginning of 2021, two incidents occurred in the eastern part of the European Alps where mountain rescuers were caught by hangfire avalanches during ongoing rescue operations. In this episode, Matthias Walcher interviews two people directly involved, who shed light on the circumstances of the accidents and share the lessons learned:

Matthias Schilchegger is a mountain rescue leader in Obertauern (Austria) and Manca Volk Bahun is a snow scientist and avalanche forecaster based in Trzic, Slovenia.
