The very complicated conditions of search and rescue work after DANA: “When we arrived at the tunnel…”

With just enough space. With little, very little maneuvering between the water and the roof. Only, in some cases, a boat comes in to carry out search and rescue tasks. And without light. This is how agents work. This is how, for example, firefighters like Salvador Olivas work, stationed in Alfafar after the DANA which devastated Valencia.

“The situation since we arrived here was to drain the water and open the lines of communication. This is the priority here,” he told laSexta Noticias.

And he concludes by talking about his work in the tunnel that crosses Alfafar and Benetússer: “When we arrived There were around fifty cars and everything was flooded.. We did the drainage with all possible means, with high flow pumps…”

“Everything to extract the vehicles. Thank God there were no casualties.”he expressed in Sexta Noticias.
