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.

What are the key safety measures that can be taken before exploring caves to prevent emergencies like the recent incident in Preveza?
**Interview with Emergency Response Team Leader on Recent Cave Rescue in Preveza**
**Interviewer:** Good evening, and thank you for joining us today. We have with us *John Smith*, the leader of the emergency response team that recently conducted a successful rescue operation in Preveza. Can you tell us about the situation that unfolded?
**John Smith:** Good evening! Yes, certainly. We received an alert regarding a 19-year-old man who had descended into a cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi. This cave is quite steep and reportedly unexplored, which added to the risks involved in the operation.
**Interviewer:** What challenges did your team face during the rescue?
**John Smith:** One of the primary challenges was the vertical nature of the cave itself. It was crucial for our team to assess the safety of both the rescuer and the individual trapped inside. We had to carefully navigate the descent, ensuring that we had secure anchor points and suitable equipment since the cave’s depth and condition were largely unknown.
**Interviewer:** How did the young man end up in the cave in the first place?
**John Smith:** From what we gathered post-operation, the young man used ropes to lower himself into the cave. He was exploring it when he realized he could not find a way back up. It appears he was seeking adventure, but the situation quickly became precarious.
**Interviewer:** I’m glad to hear that he is safe now. What can you tell us about the rescue operation itself?
**John Smith:** The rescue involved both EMAK, our specialized unit for such emergencies, and the Fire Department. Once we located him, we were able to secure him with ropes and carefully hoist him back up to safety. The entire operation took several hours, but teamwork and preparation were key to its success.
**Interviewer:** That’s impressive work. Is there anything you would advise to others who might consider exploring such areas?
**John Smith:** Absolutely. Always prioritize safety over adventure. Use proper gear, inform someone about your plans, and ideally, never explore uncharted areas alone. Caves can be unpredictable, and it’s important to be fully prepared for what you might encounter.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, John, for sharing your insights and for all the hard work you and your team do. We appreciate your time today.
**John Smith:** Thank you for having me. It was my pleasure to speak on this important subject.
