On Fiolent, a girl fell off a cliff. Hanging on the rocks until rescuers arrived

Eyewitnesses reported to the Sevastopol Rescue Service that a girl fell from a cliff. After the fall, she was left hanging on the rocks, clinging to the ledges and calling for help. The duty shift of the search and rescue unit «South» immediately left for the scene. Eyewitnesses waited for rescuers to arrive and indicated the exact location of the incident, which significantly reduced the search time for the victim.

The arriving rescuers organized insurance and, taking the necessary equipment, descended to the victim about 15 meters. The girl was put on a helmet, climbing equipment and insurance, after which, accompanied by a rescuer, she was lifted up a steep slope and taken to a safe place. She did not require medical attention.

By luck, the girl was able to stay on the rocks after the fall. Just a few meters away there was a cliff. The situation was largely saved by the fact that the victim remained in place and did not attempt to get out on her own, and the help of rescuers arrived on time— the details of the incident were announced in the press service of the Government of Sevastopol.

Rescuers remind: when near cliffs and rocky areas, be careful. Don’t go close to the edge. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

The single rescue number is 112. Sevastopol Rescue Service: 8 (8692) 54-33-97; +7 (978) 062-46-11.
