This year as the most outstanding service has been the collaboration for weeks in the disappearance of the young Englishman who disappeared in the Masca area being later found
The Volunteer Firefighters of Santiago del Teide have recently presented their annual report for 2024 in which it is verified that there have been a total of 120 exits activated from 112 that this body has had to develop in different interventions throughout the past year.
In this sense, the report points out that the working hours have been 153 hours in total and the average number of firefighters per service per service was 6.
Of these outings and interventions we have to highlight the search for the young Englishman in the summer in which he collaborated by making beatings and tracking through the area of Los Carrizales and Masca, the body being found, later, by the Civil Guard in the Calabaceras ravine. Also, we must highlight the 15 activations for mountain rescues, 7 in the Masca ravine (municipality of Buenavista) and 8 in Acantilado de Los Gigantes, Barranco Seco and Chinyero in Santiago del Teide. On the other hand, we have the rescues on the coast, which amount to 11 distributed between the Isla Cangrejo Pool area and the Tancón, having two in the Cueva de la Vaca.
In addition, highlight the interventions (Level 3) of collaboration with the Consortium of Firefighters of Tenerife in the fire in the composting plant in San Miguel de Abona where it was intervened for 11 hours. Other services to highlight were roadway cleaning (5), animal rescues (4) fires in vehicles (6).
