This past November, a group called the Successful Women “Mujeres Exitosas” of New York arrived to help some children in the Eastern part of the country and Comandos de Salvamento acted as the cultural bridge to help them. From that a relationship was born between lieutenant Juan Gutierrez and Captain Nelson Rivas of the New York World Fire Fighter Academy and Ramona Torres y Mayra Rivera,of Mujeres Exitosas.
This has resulted in the New York group to collaborate with the Mission of Comandos de Salvamento in possible future donations of an ambulance and rescue equipment for extrications.
CDS has offered support to El Salvador for over 60 years and looks forward to this new relationship.

CDS arrived on scene to a female DOA and extricated 2 others that were trapped in a vehicle after it had crashed on the freeway to the International airport.
According to the driver, the passenger that expired had just left Rosales hospital and was heading home to La Paz. He also reported one of the tires had become flat causing loss of control of the vehicle around KM marker 13.
