Formentera firefighters train in outdoor rescue operations

The Formentera Department of Interior reports that the island’s fire crew has taken part in advanced training on outdoor rescue operations. Participants in the 25-hour course practised techniques in rescuing individuals from wells and cliffsides.

Interior conseller Josep Marí said classes, which took place during the first half of July, were geared towards familiarising the local fire department with leading-edge emergency rescue strategies.

Eight crew members successfully completed the course, which was led by Emergency Staff and cost the Consell €5,245.
