The high number of traffic accidents that occur in our country leaves, in addition to many victims, damage to the equipment used by Comandos de Salvamento rescuers, who use their hydraulic machines to extract people trapped among the wreckage.

Currently, Comandos de Salvamento has had to invest nearly six thousand dollars to repair one of its hydraulic devices, which are used to open vehicles and assist victims of road collisions.

Comandos de Salvamento contracted a company specializing in this type of machinery in order to use the equipment again, as it is so necessary in traffic accidents. Due to a budget cut, rescuers face limitations in carrying out their work at one hundred percent, since the current units available are reaching the end of their useful life because of the high number of collisions between motor vehicles.

Comandos de Salvamento’s specialized hydraulic equipment for extrication costs between 35 and 50 thousand dollars, and its maintenance is necessary for proper operation, as this makes it possible to save the lives of many people.
