One of the most moving images DANA leaves is that of the rescuers returning to the place where they intervened. This is the case of a group of civil guards who entered a bazaar in Carlet (Valence) where On the night of November 29, they rescued 47 people.
They went to the municipality for multiple warnings, but access to the premises was particularly complicated, as agent Laura Mora admitted: “A furniture factory that we have here next door had collapsed and “It was impossible to escape through that area.” In fact, his teammate Raúl Climent almost got swept away by the current: “The water dragged me and there were my colleagues who managed to get me out.”
Clinging to a lifeline, They managed to bring people to Santiago Zuowner of the bazaar where the rescue took place, and who did not hesitate to help the Civil Guard: “The first thing was to save the people outside. I also went out to help people enter.” Once inside, they placed sandbags at the door so water would not enter the facility. A measure of which they were not entirely sure, Climent declared: “If the flood opened this door, we would all be flooded.”
Amparo Amat, one of the rescued people, entered the store with her husband and two dogs. A few days later, and once the storm had passed, she remembered with enthusiasm that Zu “He behaved very well. He gave us everythingwater, coffee, biscuits and towels so people can dry off”, and above all a place to shelter from the rain.
