Overview
- Regional officials reported two GERA interventions on March 15 in hard-to-reach areas of the Comunidad de Madrid’s mountain ranges.
- At Pico de la Miel in the Sierra de La Cabrera, GERA worked with a SUMMA 112 nurse to extract a woman with a knee injury from a very difficult location.
- At Cabezas de Hierro on the Cuerda Larga in the Sierra de Guadarrama, rescuers located and evacuated two hikers halted by strong wind and fog.
- The Guadarrama operation lasted more than five hours, and the evacuated hikers were reported safe without injuries.
- GERA, the high-altitude rescue unit of Madrid’s fire service, coordinated closely with regional emergency services during both operations.
