The young man whose rescue was set up in Preveza is safe and sound.
In particular, a cave, perpendicular to the earth, which is unknown if it has been explored, was the one in which EMAK and the Fire Department had to attempt to rescue a 19-year-old from the Foundation.
The 19-year-old, according to testimonies after the completion of the operation, had tied himself with ropes in order to descend into the cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi.
It reached a depth of about twenty meters where a loft is formed..
It was then impossible for him to rise to the surface again. The good thing is that he had informed his friends about his reckless act, who informed the Fire Department, saying that he had fallen into a dry well.
Fire brigade, EMAK and volunteers of LEK Preveza tried to the scene. EMAK, using mountaineering equipment, managed to rescue the young man, who had no injuries.

How does John suggest young adventurers ensure their safety when exploring unknown areas?
**Interview with John Papadopoulos, a Local Rescue Volunteer**
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today, John. We’re relieved to hear that the young man who got trapped in the cave in Alonaki is safe. Can you tell us more about the situation as it unfolded?
**John Papadopoulos**: Absolutely. It was quite a tense situation. The 19-year-old had managed to descend into a cave that, as far as we know, isn’t widely explored. He tied himself with ropes for the descent, but when he realized he couldn’t get back up, he called for help and that’s when EMAK and the local fire department were alerted.
**Interviewer**: How challenging was the rescue operation for the team?
**John Papadopoulos**: The rescue was quite complex. Given that the cave was perpendicular and unknown, the team had to proceed with extreme caution. They had to assess the risks involved, not just for the young man but also for the rescuers themselves. They employed both climbing gear and experienced cavers to ensure safety while conducting the operation.
**Interviewer**: Were there any particular strategies that the rescue team used during the operation?
**John Papadopoulos**: Yes, they made use of specialized caving techniques and equipment to navigate safely. They also had to maintain communication with the young man to keep him calm and informed about the progress. The team’s training in cave rescues was crucial in making sure the operation was carried out efficiently and safely.
**Interviewer**: It’s incredible to hear about the capabilities of the rescue team. After such an operation, what support is available for the young man now?
**John Papadopoulos**: Following the rescue, he will likely receive psychological support to cope with the experience. It’s important for him to process what happened. Additionally, he may need medical check-ups to ensure he’s physically alright after the ordeal, but thankfully, it seems he did not suffer severe injuries.
**Interviewer**: what message do you have for young adventurers who might be considering similar explorations?
**John Papadopoulos**: My message is to always prioritize safety. If you’re venturing into unknown or potentially dangerous areas like caves, make sure to go with experienced individuals, inform others of your plans, and always have the right gear. The thrill of exploration is exciting, but safety should come first.
**Interviewer**: Thank you, John, for sharing your insights with us today. It’s a relief to know that the young man is safe, and we appreciate the hard work of the rescue teams.
**John Papadopoulos**: Thank you for having me.
