Warsaw. They went to help a lost woman. A rare language helped in communication

City guards helped a 63-year-old woman who lost his orientation in the field. In this unusual intervention, the knowledge of sign language was useful, the basis of which is learned by paramedics. One of the officers knew him, which enabled communication.

The officers went to the place near the intersection of Kondratowicz and Saint. Wincentego, where the reporter showed them a nervous woman who was shaking with cold.

Knowledge of one of the languages ​​turned out to be useful. “One of the guards who studied sign language during the rescue studies recognized that the nervous gestures she performed with her hands are a call for help. As the officers determined, the 63 -year -old got off at the wrong stop, got lost and could not find the right way home” – described the public guard in a message.

The phone helped in finding the house

In the company of uniformed, the woman calmed down a bit. It turned out that she had a phone with him that he helped find her place of residence. The guards called her son, who picked up her mother and safely took the woman home.

As they informed the uniform, there are 100 officers in the Municipal Guard in Warsaw with the rights of a rescuer, including 6 paramedics. They participate many times in interventions against people (especially the elderly) who have lost their orientation in the field.
