Firefighters have taken a 65-year-old man with medical problems out of the roof, according to the Emergency Consortium. The event took place around 08.30 hours in Cienfuegos de Arrecife.
The man was having difficulty breathing and had an altered state of consciousness, so the health personnel decided to evacuate him to the hospital. The paramedics had to request the help of the Consortium since they could not lower him down the stairs as they were very narrow.
The firefighters went to the place with two vehicles to take the man out of the house through the roof, with the help of a rescue ladder. Once outside, he was taken to the ambulance to later transfer him to the Molina Orosa hospital.
