Another article about our emergency base

The Cochabamba newspaper, Los Tiempos, has published a second article about our new emergency base. For the Spanish full text, see the Los Tiempos website.

Or, you can just read a (somewhat awkward, but accurate) translation here:

Unit Will Attend Accidents

The police will be able to arrive more rapidly to help the victims of traffic accidents that occur in the lower valley and the highway toward the west with the creation of the first Highway Rescue Unit of the country.

The Unit became reality with the momentum of Hospitals of Hope of Anocaraire (Vinto), the best-equipped medical service of the department [like a state] and located strategically in the lower valley. The Police Command consolidated the creation of the Rescue Unit, designating a team of 11 police officers, so that the station will be alert 24 hours a day and will be able to respond rapidly to accidents. The first Highway Rescue Unit is composed of the police, the fire department, and Hospitals of Hope of Anocaraire. The Unit is prepared to offer different services, like an anti-fire brigade, an emergency medical system for pre-hospital care, and a rescue brigade for accident victims in ravines and on the high mountain.
