The earthquake in Turkey and Syria 286

This happened yesterday, but today the mountain rescuers found out about it from local people.

"The dogs' job is to go through the ruins and, where they feel that there are living people, to give a signal. The place is marked with a colored bright yellow or orange spray. After them, the rescue teams already enter the field, and the handlers and the dogs withdraw and go to another collapsed building to search", explained the director of the PSS at the BCH, Emil Neshev, quoted by "24 Chasa".

A Bulgarian rescue dog found a woman under the debris in Turkey

So yesterday our dogs indicated in several places in Antakya that there are people alive.

Only today, local residents met our rescuers by chance, recognized them and told them that the five members of a family were found alive in one of the marked places.

"They didn't explain to the colleagues what the location was to know which dog worked there. Today there are also marked in several places possibly alive under the remains of buildings, but then the rescue teams are checking and clearing to get to the survivors." added Neshev.

We remind you that twelve rescuers and 5 dogs from the Mountain Rescue Service were among the first to go to the earthquake-affected areas in Turkey.

The four-legged heroes in the mission are Nord, Nico, Hera, Bergo and Max.

All are of the highest operational class C and over 3 years of age.
