The activity of Tenerife Firefighters has intensified in recent hours, with urgent interventions in both the south and north of the island. One of the most notable incidents was a flammable gas leak in Arona, which mobilized personnel from the San Miguel de Abona station.

Around 00:50 AM this Wednesday, the Tenerife Firefighters Coordination Center received an alert about a problem with flammable gases in a local establishment in Arona. After confirming the gas leak from a cylinder, firefighters proceeded to evacuate personnel and close propane collectors to prevent risks. The Local Police collaborated in managing this emergency.

Hours earlier, attention shifted to the north of the island due to a serious traffic accident on the TF-5 highway, near La Guancha. Personnel from the Icod de los Vinos and La Orotava stations, along with volunteers from Ycoden-Daute, responded to the scene where a vehicle had violently impacted a concrete wall at the entrance of a tunnel, moving approximately 100 meters.

Firefighters marked the roadway and stabilized the car before extricating the co-driver, who was trapped inside. Once freed through the rear door, he was attended to by the Canarian Emergency Service (SUC). The Civil Guard was also present at the scene of the accident.

In addition to these incidents, firefighters also intervened in several fires. In Arafo, the Güímar station extinguished a brush fire in an abandoned plot. In San Cristóbal de La Laguna, local personnel put out a fire in a garbage container on Fernando Díaz Cutillas street. In both cases, the Local Police provided support.

Finally, firefighters from the San Miguel station collaborated with the SUC in a complex medical evacuation, using a ladder truck to transfer an obese patient from a first-floor balcony to an ambulance, ensuring a safe medical transfer.
