Manado SAR Evacuates A Resident Who Is Stuck In A Well With A Depth Of 15 Meters

JAKARTA - The Manado SAR team, North Sulawesi, evacuated a resident who had fallen in a well at a depth of about 15 meters, in a state of death.

Head of Operations Section of the Manado Search and Rescue Office (Basarnas) Jandry S Paendong, in Manado, Sunday, said on Saturday, October 30 at around 11:15 pm his party received reports that there had been dangers to human lives.

"A resident at Perum Lestari fell into a well, it is known that the victim is Humala Siahaan, 59 years old, the address is Malalayang Neighborhood 1 Manado," he said.

He said from the testimony of Rival's witnesses, local residents, that the victim had just bought land there and there were lots of thick grass plants.

The victim intended to clean the grass in his newly purchased garden, but the victim did not know that in the garden there were three unused wells dug.

So that when the victim was cleaning the grass the victim fell into a well with a depth of about 15 meters.

The joint SAR team of Basarnas, TNI, Polri, PMI, and the local community during the evacuation process were worried because the ground was very unstable and the wells were very close together.

The Basarnas team then developed a system using a special tripod that made it easier to pull out victims.

In evacuating, the Basarnas team found it difficult, because the well was very narrow, stuffy and it was estimated that there was toxic gas.

In the operation, the team did not take long to evacuate the victim and the victim was finally able to be evacuated to the top, dead and stiff.

"According to the family's request, after being evacuated the victim was taken to Prof Kandou Manado Hospital for cleaning," he said.

He revealed that often reports of incidents or incidents came late at the Basarnas office.

For this reason, his party always conducts socialization to the community to please contact or call 115 if you see an incident that endangers human life.

Basarnas is always ready when it receives reports that endanger human lives.

Like this incident, reports that came into Basarnas on Saturday (30/10) were at midnight, while the incident occurred on Saturday afternoon.

"Every report we will process according to procedures for rescue. In every incident that endangers human life, we are always ready 24 hours to receive complaints from people who need help," he said.
