Veteran EMS worker Edgar Jhonny Ramos directs crews below in drill of 2009.
Every year, Comandos de Salvamento will be doing another massive rescue simulation drill at the beaches of El Majahual La Libertad this coming Sunday March 21. Such activity is to keep our rescue and EMS skills sharpened for the upcoming Holy Week vacations in April.
All resources and training gear will be within the scope of care that CDS offers to the Salvadoran public along with the support of the Salvadoran Airforce. The FAS will be offering to collaborate as they do every year with a Huey UH Helicopter and will be doing manuevers with Comando EMS personell. Do not miss this opportunity to observe the Comandos work starting at 8am. For pictures of last years event please click above foto for flickr. Video below.
On March 8th, a ceremony in honor of Salvadoran Women took place in celebration of International Woman’s Day. It took place in Las Cascadas shopping mall located in Angiguo Cuscatlán. Present were the Mayor of Antiguo, Milagro Navas, (middle) other professionals and veteran EMS worker Guadalupe Teos de Argueta from the Antiguo Base. Guadalupe has been a Comando volunteer for many years and CDS is proud to have her honored. Congratulations Guadalupe!
The governing board of CDS realized an act of recognition to EMS workers and volunteers for their labor and spirit of volunteerism during emergencies caused by Tropical Storm Ida. The Comandos recieved a Diploma of Honor that states, “Volunteered to work and comply with statute (Article 3)-to rescue lives and property that are in danger caused by natural disasters..”
During the ceremony at the Central Base of CDS, the Comandos Prayer was said and gifts were given out to volunteers that helped the Salvadoran population when help was most needed.
