Rescatan de Tres de un Incendio

Incendio Soyapango 2010

CDS assisted victims of a fire in the colonia Lomas del Río, main street No. 18 and 20 in Soyapango this Sunday afternoon. Two home residences were consumed with flames and smoke when a small propane tank exploded. Patients attended to were 29 yo Blanca Gómez, 50 yo Mario Zamora and 17 yo Alexander Vásquez.  They were transported to local Emergency Rooms while the National Fire Dept put out the remaining flames and assured safety of the scene. A young child was transported to Childrens Bloom Hospital, with name undetermined. Common friends, family, and neighbors helped put out the fire with local resources.

Family members and CDS bury the remains of 17 yo Volunteer Comando Christian Neftali Escalón at the municipal cemetary of Apopa. Christian was shot by unknown assailants this last Wednesday night while driving a Microbus with his dad around the Colonia Tikal neighborhood. He was transported to Hospital Rosales, yet died during surgery in intensive care. His father is the head delegate leader of our Apopa base.

Be Careful While Getting Off the Bus

An 18 year old Erika Campos presented with various injuries when she fell from a route 29 bus along Blvd Ejercito Nacional in front of Molsa. The National Civilian Police asked for prompt dispatch and an EMS crew was sent promptly to help the patient where she was assessed and soon transported to Hospital Rosales ER in San Salvador. No one was found responsible, and the bus was not present in the area when help arrived. Fotos: CDS/Francisco Campos
