Firefighters have rescued a 92-year-old man who had fallen inside his home and emergency services could not access it. According to reports from the Consortium, "once alerted by the CECOES, we moved to the place, and proceeded with the help of a ladder to access the upper patio, forcing the door that gives access to the ground floor."

Firefighters had to use the Halligan to force the door that was locked with the key in place and the latch thrown. "Once inside, we found the man lying on the floor, so we collaborated with the health services in immobilizing him and transferring him to the ambulance," they add from the Consortium.

Finally, the firefighters have fixed the door and have left the key to the house in the custody of the Local Police.
