He said: “Our main tool is the coordination that, to date, has allowed no serious cases to occur, which does not prevent us from attending to minor or even major circumstances every day, for which we continue to work in order to offer a better service every year.”
He added that Civil Protection volunteers have performed 2,760 hours of service, in addition to the work undertaken prior to the summer season, “with important training in matters related to the aquatic environment.”
They have also carried out a total of 510 services, including searching for missing elderly and health care.
Diaz has also highlighted the work of the Underwater Fire Department, with about 40 interventions.
General director of Environment and Beaches, Maria Victoria Martin-Lomeña said that Marbella’s rescue company maintains the presence of 41 lifeguards on the coast throughout the summer.
