Bombers de la Generalitat

The Bombers de la Generalitat are the fire and rescue service of Catalonia, Spain. They are newsworthy due to their recent involvement in rescue operations. Recent news articles highlight their response to two separate incidents. One involved the rescue of four young people trapped in a collapsed building, the old hospital in Esparreguera (Barcelona). The Bombers successfully extracted all four, with some sustaining injuries. Separately, they responded to an incident in Abella de la Conca (Lleida) where a hunter was injured after being attacked by a wild boar he had shot. These events demonstrate the Bombers de la Generalitat's role in responding to diverse emergencies across Catalonia, from urban structural collapses to rural incidents involving wildlife.
