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.

**Interview with Local Rescue Coordinator about the Alonaki Cave Incident**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today. Can you please introduce yourself and your role in the recent rescue operation in Alonaki?
**Coordinator:** Thank you for having me. I’m Alex Papadopoulos, the local rescue coordinator for EMAK, the Greek Emergency Response Team. Our primary role is to handle emergencies, including cave rescues like the one we just completed.
**Editor:** What can you tell us about the circumstances surrounding the rescue of the 19-year-old?
**Coordinator:** The situation was quite concerning. The young man had descended into a cave that is reportedly unexplored. It’s a vertical cave, which makes rescues particularly challenging. According to testimonies, he tied himself with ropes to descend deeper into the cave.
**Editor:** That sounds dangerous. How did the rescue operation unfold?
**Coordinator:** Once we were alerted, our team, along with the Fire Department, mobilized quickly. We had to assess the cave’s structure and the safest way to reach him. It involved strategic planning since we were unaware of the cave’s layout and potential hazards.
**Editor:** How was the young man found, and what condition was he in upon rescue?
**Coordinator:** Fortunately, we located him without incident. He was alert and, thankfully, unharmed. It was a relief for all involved considering the risks of such an operation. Our team guided him back to safety using the ropes he had initially used.
**Editor:** What important safety lessons can be drawn from this incident regarding exploring unknown caves?
**Coordinator:** This incident highlights the importance of not exploring unknown areas alone and always being equipped with the right safety gear. It’s crucial to inform someone about your plans and to have a contingency plan in place for emergencies. Cave exploration can be thrilling, but safety should always come first.
**Editor:** Thank you, Alex, for your insights and for the important work you and your team do in these challenging situations.
**Coordinator:** Thank you for having me. It’s always important to share these experiences to encourage safe practices.
