The hiker was caught off guard by the steepness and difficulty of the terrain and became stuck in a very inaccessible area. Unable to reach the ground, the air rescue operation was activated, with the Sa Milana helicopter transporting two rescuers to an area near the victim. From there, the rescue team was able to reach the young man and begin the rescue. Simultaneously, the helicopter picked up two more rescuers from the Sóller Fire Station, who joined the operation and assisted in bringing the hiker down to safety. The operation was successful, and the young man is in good health. This is the first operation of its kind carried out this year by the Sa Milana helicopter in the Tramuntana mountain range. </p>]]></description>

The man was on a trail when, for reasons that have not been disclosed, he became unwell and was unable to continue on his own. According to the Mallorca Fire Department, upon receiving the emergency call, the Milana rescue helicopter, the specialized aerial unit for intervention in difficult-to-access locations, was immediately activated. The aircraft flew to the indicated location, and once there, the firefighters located the hiker, who was in an area particularly challenging to reach. The firefighters stabilized him and ensured his evacuation, a maneuver that in this rugged terrain requires precise coordination between ground personnel and the air team. Once he was rescued, the man was taken to Son Espases University Hospital for treatment. No further details about his condition have been released at this time. </p>]]></description>

Last Thursday, a group of people set out from Portals Vells intending to reach Can Pastilla while practicing this sport, the Civil Guard Command in the Balearic Islands reported. Upon reaching their destination, they realized one member of the group was missing and, unable to contact or see him, alerted the emergency services. The Maritime Service officers headed to the last position indicated by the missing man's mobile phone, about four miles southwest of Can Pastilla, and began their search following the direction of the waves. With only 45 minutes of daylight remaining and the waves being rough, they managed to locate him in approximately half an hour further out at sea, about four miles from his initial position. Once safe, he was taken to the port of Can Pastilla. The Civil Guard advises planning outings, checking the vessel, always carrying mandatory safety equipment (life jacket, flares, and first-aid kit), a mobile phone or VHF radio, and always checking sea conditions and weather alerts before setting out. </p>]]></description>

The operation took place last Tuesday when agents from the Underwater Activities Specialist Group (GEAS) and members of the Maritime Rescue Service from Portocristo were conducting a joint operation in the northeast of Mallorca. When they spotted the animal floating in the sea, the agents carefully brought it aboard their vessel to prevent further harm. They then contacted the Palma Aquarium Foundation, which runs the marine wildlife recovery center, and transported the turtle to the port of Portocolom, where it was cared for by specialists. The turtle, named Mimosa – after the Maritime Rescue vessel that participated in the rescue – will be examined and receive veterinary care before its release is considered. Sources from the agency remind the public that, if they find an injured sea turtle, they should call 112 and not attempt to remove any plastic, threads, or nets that may be causing pressure. The animal should be placed in the shade, covered with a damp towel, but without covering its head or shell. The rescue of Mimosa highlights the impact of marine pollution on the wildlife of the Balearic Islands, where several turtles affected by plastic waste or fishing hooks must be treated each year. </p>]]></description>
