Emergency services respond to incidents in Gandia and Favara

Emergency responders in the Valencia region addressed two separate incidents over the weekend. In Gandia, members of the animal protection organization Spama Safor coordinated the rescue of a Podenco dog wandering near the N-332 highway. To ensure the animal's safety, a truck blocked traffic while volunteers secured the dog near their shelter. The animal, which was found with injuries and a restrictive chain, was returned to its owner after resting at the shelter. Spama Safor noted that the owner had not reported the dog missing, which may violate animal welfare laws.

In Favara, firefighters from Cullera and Gandia responded to a traffic accident involving an overturned passenger car. Emergency teams performed an extrication to free an occupant trapped inside the vehicle. The individual was transferred to medical services for assessment, though the severity of their injuries has not been officially disclosed. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances that led to the vehicle overturning.
