Nearly 40 young rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador have enrolled in the vertical rescue course that recently began at the headquarters.Volunteers from the Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador branch offices are participating in the training, which will last approximately two months, during which the rescuers will receive both instructional and practical material.

The executive director of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Roberto Cruz, inaugurated the vertical rescue course, which is funded through contributions from Norwegian Popular Aid, APN, in order to strengthen the volunteers’ knowledge.

In addition, the rescuers will have to attend every Friday afternoon to receive their theoretical and practical classes, which include physical exertion in order to become part of this select group that will learn ascents and descents, as well as other safe techniques for providing assistance in emergencies involving people who fall into ravines or other types of situations.
