The firefighters of the Security and Emergency Consortium had to assist this Tuesday at dawn two elderly people who could not fend for themselves and who were in a house on Canalejas street in Arrecife.

After being alerted by the Cecoes at about 3:35 a.m., the firefighters went to the place, where the Local Police was already, and tried to open the house with an x-ray without success.

Meanwhile, the firefighters located the exterior balcony of the house on Otilia Díaz street and contacted a neighbor to open the door of his house so they could access through his balcony.

Once inside, they found the two elderly people immobile in the bedroom and the door was opened so that the paramedics could assess them, with the firefighters ending the service.
