A disturbing incident occurred in the district of Miraflores, where a firefighter reported being attacked by an individual while responding to an emergency call. .
According to the firefighter's testimony, the emergency unit encountered an obstacle in the road: several irregularly parked cars, which prevented them from moving down the street. Faced with the urgent need to reach the scene of the emergency, the firefighters decided to turn on the siren to alert and request the owners of the vehicles to move them. However, instead of receiving the expected cooperation, a man approached aggressively, confronting the volunteers. In the midst of this altercation, one of the firefighters was assaulted by this subject.Hours after the incident, lawyer Javier Cruz, who is also a member of the referred fire company, informed RPP Noticias that legal action will be taken after the aggression against his colleague.
It is regrettable the position of the police officer. One person does not fully represent the police institution, which is a firefighter-friendly institution
he alleged.
Roadways are an essential part of our urban infrastructure, acting as the veins and arteries that transport people, goods, and services from one place to another. Obstructing these pathways, intentionally or not, can lead to dire consequences. This is particularly true for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, that rely on clear and accessible roads to swiftly reach those in need. Any delay, no matter how minor it might seem, can make the difference between life and death.
