Ever since Comandos de Salvamento was founded in 1960, we have worked side by side with journalists that report from the “Danger Zone”.  Solidarity between journalists and EMS workers during events where sometimes both parties are threatened.  EMS workers are alert for whatever threat or situation that could be directed towards journalists and endanger them. Some may be evacuated due to suffering the effects of teargas or have been assaulted. This teamwork has solidified the solidarity between journalists-and comandos since CDS supports freedom of the press, and access to information and news even under the most trying circumstances.
