In the middle of the DANA in Valencia, they carry out a miraculous rescue of a woman and her pets: video

In the midst of the desolation that Spain is experiencing due to DANA in Valencia, which already leaves more than 70 dead, Javier Ballesteros captured a video that has gone viral and in which you can see the impressive rescue carried out by firefighters, with a helicopter, a woman and her pets, who were about to drown in their wooden house located in Utiel.

The GERA rescue group of the Fire Consortium descended from the V-990 aircraft upon locating the trapped woman and managed to rescue her along with her pets, a dog and her cats.

The young man who shared the impressive rescue, who has also been affected by DANA in Valencia, said on his social networks: “We managed to get the helicopter to see us and rescue this woman in Utiel who had been trapped in her wooden house with her cats and her dog.”.

The images show one of the rescuers descending from the aircraft and then putting the harness on the victim, who clings to his animals to get them out of the flood alive.

The rescuer takes the crate with the cats and keeps them afloat as much as possible, while the woman hugs the dog and they begin to swim towards the open; In about ten seconds they begin to rise.

After sharing the images, Javier set about the task of finding out how his neighbor and pets were, since the same distressed people wanted to know the outcome of the story. Finally, the young man gave the good news: “I have already been able to find out about your situation. Both she and the animals they have rescued are safe and healthy. A great joy. 🥰🥰”.

The shocking images from Tuesday night showed streets converted into true mighty rivers that swept away everything in their path, including vehicles. The state meteorology agency Aemet recorded “extraordinary accumulations” of rain, with some municipalities receiving 300 liters of water per square meter in just a few hours, “practically what can rain in a full year”as noted on the social network X.

When the water level was rising, María Carmen, a resident of the city of Valencia, told TVE that she climbed out of the window of her vehicle and climbed “on the roof” of a van, where she stayed for several hours until she could be rescued.

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who will visit the affected area this Thursday, urged citizens not to let their guard down at a time when the emergency “continues.”

“We are going to use all the necessary means today, tomorrow and as long as it takes so that we can recover from this tragedy, we are not going to leave you alone,” said the socialist leader from the Moncloa Palace, addressing those affected. The government declared three days of official mourning starting October 31.

Rail and air transportation to the area remained suspended.

“We reiterate the importance of not traveling by road” in the affected provinces of the region, insisted the president of the Valencia region, Carlos Mazón.
