In Latvia Yesterday, 16:01 Rescuers help two lost people escape from the forest

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the rescuers went to the įbuļi parish of Talsi county and shortly before ten in the evening to the vicinity of Talsu Street in Ventspils. Rescuers and State Police officers contacted the person by telephone in the įbuļi parish of Talsi region, and also turned on the horn of the tanker truck and drove along the forest until the person reported by telephone that he heard the horn. The rescuers then went into the forest, operating a chainsaw so that the person would have a sound in which direction to go, and after a while, the rescuers found the person and brought them out of the forest.

On the other hand, in Ventspils, the man could not get out of the forest on his own, so the rescuers used a drone with an infrared camera and lighting equipment to find him. After a short time, the person was found and taken out of the forest.

VUGD reminds that caution should be observed when going into the forest, including the need to take a charged mobile phone with you and, if possible, not to go to the forest alone.

At noon, VUGD received a request for help from Jaunaluksne parish of Alūksne district, where a person had started having health problems in the forest. Rescuers took the person out of the forest on a stretcher and handed him over to the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) medics.

At 3:46 p.m. last day, firefighters went to Jaunciemas gatvi in ​​Riga, where the attic and roof of a one-story farm building with an area of ​​200 square meters were burning with an open flame. The extinguishing work ended at nine in the evening.

This morning at 7:30 in the morning on Vecmīlgrāvja Street in Riga, firefighters rescued a person who was also injured in the fire from a smoke-filled apartment in a five-story residential building. The cause of the smoke was food left unattended on the stove.

In the past 24 hours, VUDG received 55 calls – 14 for firefighting, 29 for rescue work, but 12 calls were false.
