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.
Image of an MVA involving a pickup along km 80 highway to Ahuachapan. Patients injured and attended to were 24yo Darwin Mancia Cabrera and 16yo Naci Lopez. The patients were transported to the national hospital of Chalchuapa. The Comandos were on their way to pick up an ill Salvadoran national in Tapachula when they came upon the accident. Veteran Comandos Jhony and Orsi assisted in offering BLS on the way to the hospital.
