18yo Gabriela Sofia Amaya was attended to by Comandos de Salvamento and transported to Rosales ER with three stab wounds. Three assailants attacked her in front of the Altamira Condos, Talapo Street on the eastern side of the Cuscatlan Stadium. The attackers killed her boyfriend leaving him deceased on the street with a variety of injuries caused by the weapon. After triaging and verifying the boyfriend had expired, they focused on giving first aid and stabilizing Gabriela. It is presumed that the patient is affiliated with gangs due to a variety of tattoos present. Fotos by Orlando Villalobos.
CDS offered a free basic first aid class in Quincy, Washington State in collaboration with the local Community Clinic and the First Baptist Church. More than 25 people learned 1 and 2 rescuer CPR, and how to respond situations that includes bleeding, feinting, fractures, choking, and epilepsy.
The class was sponsored by pastor Jose Magallanes of the First Baptist Church and included immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, and Peru. In celebrating it’s fifty years of existence, Comandos de Salvamento is offering training to Hispanic Communities of Central Washington where there are many agricultural employees that work in the apple, pear, and cherry orchards. We want to formallly thank Ballard Ambulance again for loaning the training manniquins and also Quincy Community Health employees Mary Jo Ibarra, and Kathy Hirschel for assisting in making this class a success.

Comandos de Salvamento offered a First Aid class for the first time ever in the USA this past Friday in Wenatchee Washington. The class was sponsored by the Comité Salvadoreño de Washington Central. Many Latinos in the area work in agricultural and benefit from knowledge and skills the Comandos have in first aid and basic CPR. The course was geared for the first to respond meaning friend or family on scene and what to do before handing care over to more qualified EMS providers such as Ballard or Lifeline Ambulance. Luis taught students how to manage basic injuries, choking, bleeding, small fractures, and sprains. Comandos de Salvamento wants to formally thank Ballard Ambulance of the Wenatchee Valley for loaning 8 adult training mannequins and 10 baby mannequins for the class to practice their newly acquired skills.
