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 safety measures should be taken when exploring uncharted caves?
**Interview: Exploring the Recent Cave Rescue in Preveza**
**Editor:** Today, we have with us Mr. Dimitris Papadakis, a local rescue volunteer with extensive experience in cave explorations and emergency responses. He will share insights about the recent rescue operation in Preveza involving a young man who became trapped in a cave. Welcome, Dimitris!
**Dimitris:** Thank you for having me. It’s great to be here.
**Editor:** Let’s dive right into it. Can you tell us what happened in Preveza?
**Dimitris:** Absolutely. A 19-year-old was attempting to explore a cave in Alonaki, near Valanidorachi. He tied himself with ropes to descend into the cave, which is notable as it has not been fully explored before. Unfortunately, something went wrong, and he ended up needing rescue.
**Editor:** That’s quite a dangerous situation. How did the rescue operation unfold?
**Dimitris:** The specialized rescue teams, including EMAK and the Fire Department, responded quickly. They had to carefully plan their approach since the cave was steep and uncharted. Thankfully, after a tense operation, they managed to reach him and bring him back safely.
**Editor:** What measures are typically taken to ensure the safety of rescuers and the person in danger during such operations?
**Dimitris:** Safety is paramount. The teams always conduct detailed assessments of the site before attempting a rescue. This includes understanding the cave’s structure, possible hazards, and determining the best methods for extraction without further endangering the trapped individual.
**Editor:** Were there any particular challenges that the rescue team faced in this case?
**Dimitris:** One of the main challenges was the cave’s unexplored nature. Since no detailed maps or previous explorations were available, the rescuers had to proceed cautiously. Additionally, managing the young man’s condition and ensuring he remained calm was crucial.
**Editor:** Fortunately, the young man is safe now. What advice would you give to those interested in exploring caves and other adventurous activities?
**Dimitris:** Always prioritize safety. Never explore uncharted areas alone, and ensure that you’re equipped with the right gear. It’s also wise to let someone know your plans and expected return time. And most importantly, consider joining a group or an organized expedition where experienced members can guide you.
**Editor:** Great advice, Dimitris. Thank you for sharing your insights on this rescue operation. It highlights both the bravery of rescue teams and the importance of safety in adventure activities.
**Dimitris:** Thank you for having me. It’s always a reminder for us to respect nature and its unpredictability.
**Editor:** And to our viewers, remember to stay safe in your explorations. Until next time!
