Comandos de Salvamento responded to several emergencies due to the heavy rains that affected the national territory, caused by the passage of the tropical wave, which could affect part of this Monday.

In Sensuntepeque, Cabañas, a wall collapse affected the home of 55-year-old Mrs. Gertrudis Esperanza Medida Fernández. Comandos de Salvamento and Bomberos from that location arrived and evacuated the woman to take her to a safer place.

The incident occurred in Barrio El Calvario, Sensuntepeque.

Comandos de Salvamento from Nejapa carried out cleanup work in the Huistimil ravine, which descends from the upper part of the volcano and once again overflowed its channel due to the obstruction of the culvert in Barrio San Antonio.

The volunteers, together with local residents, removed the debris to prevent a further tragedy.

In San Salvador, Comandos de Salvamento helped remove several vehicles that were affected by flooding in Colonia Médica, as they were submerged in water.

Likewise, on 49th Avenida Sur, vehicles were assisted by Comandos de Salvamento.

In addition, the flow of the Acelhuate River was checked near Colonia La Malaga, in San Salvador.

Comandos de Salvamento makes the emergency number 2133-0000 available to you.
