Thanks to the rapid intervention of lifeguards, two older people and their dogs were saved from a sinking caravan. French citizens rested on one of the beaches in Spanish Almeria, when a storm with heavy rainfall hit the region.
A dangerous event occurred on the Quitapellejos beach in Cuevas del Almanzor in Almeria. On Saturday, this southern region of Spain was hit by a wave of heavy rainfall, which led to rapid floods. According to local media around 15.40, rescuers received a phone call from an older woman, a French citizen, asking for help.
The injured had problems with communication in Spanish, but she managed to tell the services that water began to collect around her caravan around the windows. The services managed to determine its location and send support.

Immediate help
After locating the trailer, the rescuers noticed that there were two older people sending signals using flashlights in cell phones. The officers had to act quickly because the water level was still growing. It was decided to create an improvised rescue rope, thanks to which they managed to reach the victims and give them life vests.
Ultimately, the whole action was successful and the French at the age of 78 and 79 safely left the sinking trailer with their dogs. Due to the symptoms of hypothermia and confusion, they were immediately evacuated to provide medical assistance. The Diario de Almeria portal announced that as a result of heavy rainfall, rescuers had to intervene several dozen times.
