Rescue Operation in Freezing Conditions: A Life-Saving Breath at Minus 8 Degrees
Two citizens were rescued in a breathtaking operation after being stranded in the forest area of Başisteye district in Kocaeli province due to heavy snowfall. Arda P. and Erol B. found themselves trapped in the wooded area and were reported to the 112 Emergency Service Line by strapped citizens.
Upon receiving the notice, Kocaeli Provincial Gendarmerie Command teams were deployed to the forest area to assist. However, due to the vast area of the forest, the teams requested additional help from Bursa, citing the need for wider facilities. Bursa Provincial Gendarmerie Command Jack teams quickly responded to the call for assistance and reached the Kirinti neighborhood of Iznik district.
After being stranded for 24 hours in freezing temperatures, the citizens were rescued by 1 Motorized Jack team, 2 gendarmerie public order teams, UMKE, and AFAD staff. The heart-stopping moment of their rescue was captured on a Gopro camera, showcasing the heroic efforts of the rescue teams. Thankful for their quick and efficient response, Arda P. and Erol B. were saved from a potentially life-threatening situation.
