On Sunday the 28th of June 2009, Comandos de Salvamento, Cabañas base (CSC), was sworn in by lead personnel out of Base Central San Salvador.
The truth though is that CDS had already started it’s operations on May 1st 2009 with around the clock 24 hr EMS service. Adrián Benítez y de Iván Galdámez with the help of some others, bought a 1971 Jeep Cherokee in bad condition, but right away they fixed the most needed repairs, painted it, and have attended to 68 phone calls for assistance around the department of Cabañas.
CSC is located in a small building owned by Adrián Benítez where he keeps his tire repair shop in Sensuntepeque. He built a small addition and the floor was cemented via the unselfish donation from José Alfaro (San Jorge Hardware). Each night, youth volunteers do shifts in this humble yet highly significant station waiting for any emergency phone call.
The act of swearing in was done with all seriousness, hearing first the national anthem and listening to some words from other Comando delegates.
