Rescues in the mountains, people missing at sea, and passengers trapped in their cars. The snow, rain, and windstorm that has hit the Peninsula this weekend has put several citizens in difficulty both in the mountains and on the roads across the country. In La Rioja, the specialists from the Mountain Service of the Guardia Civil had to rescue and assist two mountaineers swept away by a snow avalanche on the north face of San Pico Lorenzo (La Rioja), an operation that also involved personnel at the Valdezcaray ski resort. The images shared by the agents show the extreme weather conditions in which the rescue took place. Both mountaineers showed symptoms of hypothermia and one of them was semi-buried in the snow after the avalanche that broke off from the north face of San Pico Lorenzo. Avalanches, also known as avalanches, are rapidly downhill movements of a large mass of snow, ice, earth, or rocks and can be very dangerous for those who happen to be in the mountains at that time. They usually occur in mountains and hills and in regions with significant accumulations of snow and are formed by various factors, including weather conditions (such as intense precipitation), variations in temperature, slope of the terrain, vegetation, stability of the substrate, and human intervention. Rescue of 7 passengers in three trapped vehicles The Civil Guard rescued during the early hours of this Sunday the seven occupants of three vehicles that had become trapped on kilometer 23 of the SO-615 road (Garray-La Rioja limit), in the municipality of Las Aldehuelas (Soria), due to snowdrifts. At that point, three vehicles were blocked by the snowdrifts when several Civil Guard agents arrived after receiving a call after midnight, according to sources from the Government Sub-delegation. The arrival of a snowplow at 3:40 am allowed the rescue of seven people, three of them minors aged (7, 5, and 2 years). The road, located in the Soria region of Tierras Altas, continues to be at a black risk level due to the snow. The adverse weather conditions this weekend, the risk of avalanches, snow, rain, and strong gusts of wind are causing a difficult situation on some roads in Spain. The most advisable, according to the General Traffic Directorate (DGT), is to inform about the state of the roads and the weather forecast before starting the trip.

The Springfield Police Department has honored Officers Joseph Felchner and Jared Piatt with the Life Saving Award for their heroic actions in saving a man's life following a car crash. The incident occurred on February 19, when an officer attempted to pull over a man for reckless driving on Washington Street. The man refused to stop and drove off at high speed, eventually crashing near 5th Street. The impact caused the car's engine compartment to burst into flames, knocking the driver unconscious. Officer Piatt, who was near the scene at the time, quickly sprung into action. His body camera footage, which was later shared on YouTube, captured the dramatic rescue. Piatt approached the burning car, opened the driver's side door, and pulled the man out with assistance from Officer Felchner. Felchner then dragged the man to safety while Piatt ensured no one else was in the vehicle. Officials praised the officers for their swift response and bravery in a news release. They commended Piatt and Felchner for not only confronting a vehicle fire but also for approaching a car that had evaded officers under unknown circumstances. Thanks to their quick actions and seamless transition to emergency medical aid, the driver's life was saved. Springfield Mayor Misty Buscher and Police Chief Ken Scarlette presented the officers with their awards on Thursday, recognizing their exceptional courage and dedication to serving the community.

In a strange turn of events on the 5th of March, Weld County Sheriff's Office animal control officers (ACO’s), and patrol were dispatched to a call of an “ostrich in the roadway” in the area of Weld County Roads 76 and 33. What they discovered was not an ostrich, but an emu - the second or third largest bird in the world, depending on your source. The ACO’s and patrol quickly sprang into action, utilizing their “contain and capture” skills to safely hold the emu in a nearby fenced residential yard with the owner’s permission. A passerby was able to identify the emu’s owner, Andrew Leffler, who affectionately named the emu Buddy. After a brief ordeal, Mr. Leffler was able to pick up his wayward emu and safely transport him back home. "We got lucky," he said with a sigh of relief as Buddy was loaded up in his trailer. The Weld County Sheriff's Office is grateful that Buddy is back home with his family, and Mr. Leffler allowed them to share this heartwarming and amusing story with the public.
