Red Cross rescues two elderly bathers with red flag

22 September 2019 - 16: 12

Lifeguards on the beach in The Bovetes Today they have faced the rough sea to rescue two bathers who, despite being waving the red flag, were very far from the shore.

It has happened to the 15: 00 when, among the troubled sea that has caused the red flag, the Red Cross lifeguard Dénia who was in the surveillance chair has noticed the presence of an older couple asking for help. The victims, between 60 and 70 years, were about 150 meters from the shore and the currents prevented them from returning to the arena.

After giving notice to his companions of the Bovetes post, the lifeguard has entered without thinking of the sea to take out both people at the same time. Once on the beach, with the ambulance already in place, the Red Cross service has assessed its status, discarding the transfer to the Hospital de Dénia.

    It is very nice to be able to feel pride in these young people who choose to work with such dedication for the well-being of people, "red crossers" as I like to call them.
    Thank you Denia.com for letting us know this very rewarding news.
