This annual event, focused on rescue operations in traffic accidents, brought together 13 extrication teams, each comprising a commander, several firefighters, and a paramedic. The maneuvers performed were evaluated by a jury from the Professional Association for Rescue in Traffic Accidents (APRAT).
As a result, the Gandia team has secured a place to participate in the National Meeting for Rescue in Traffic Accidents and Trauma. Likewise, the team from the Paterna station, which achieved second place, will also take part in this important event, scheduled to be held in Madrid from June 24 to 26.
“"Preparing today means better rescuing tomorrow in a real situation."
The Consortium president emphasized the importance of maintaining a high level of preparation in rescue matters, noting that, although these are simulated scenarios, the acquired training translates into real-life situations. This commitment to training and excellence is reflected both in the national and international awards obtained and in the hundreds of operations carried out annually on the roads.
The meeting, promoted by the Consortium through the Extrication Meetings Committee (COMENEX), also fosters knowledge transfer among professionals. This edition saw the participation of the Castellón Firefighters Consortium, the Generalitat de Catalunya, and the Albacete City Council Firefighters as guests, who were able to perform maneuvers and share experiences in a collaborative learning environment.
