A dramatic rescue operation took place in Cullera as firefighters came to the aid of an elderly man who had fallen in his home and was unable to move. The man, who was in distress, called for help and firefighters quickly responded to the scene.

Using rappelling techniques from the terrace of the man's home, the firefighters were able to reach him and provide necessary aid. They also worked to ensure that the medical personnel could access the house to assist the man.

After being treated and immobilized on an air mattress, the man was safely evacuated from the home using an auto-scaling vehicle and transferred to an ambulance waiting outside. The rescue operation involved teams from Cullera as well as a height vehicle from Gandia.

Fortunately, thanks to the quick action of the firefighters and medical personnel, the elderly man received the help he needed and was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
