A fifty-nine year old man needed assistance from firefighters after falling into a well in Corvera, Murcia on Sunday afternoon. Emergency services received a call at seventeen thirty-seven from a family member, asking for help to rescue the man who was trapped in a well about two to three metres deep.

The caller reported that the well contained water up to the man’s chest level. Fortunately, he remained conscious but was experiencing cold conditions. Firefighters from the Murcia Fire Extinction and Rescue Service, along with local police and an ambulance team, quickly arrived at the scene to assist.

Emergency personnel successfully rescued the man from the well, and at the scene, medical teams from the emergency health services, known as 061, provided care. Fortunately, he did not require further treatment at a hospital, and he was attended in situ.

Authorities encourage the public to remain cautious around areas with open wells, particularly in unfenced or poorly marked locations, to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
