In the Puna region of Argentina, police and medical personnel traveled 18 kilometers through steep terrain in Barrancas to reach and stabilize a 75-year-old woman experiencing stroke symptoms. In Allande, Spain, firefighters from the Asturias Emergency Service rescued a 73-year-old man who had become trapped in a wine vat in Carcedo de Lomes. The man reported he was drowning due to gases and grape residue; rescuers extracted him by tilting the vat horizontally. He was transported to a hospital without serious injuries.
