A 38-year-old hunter who early Sunday afternoon fell into an impassable ravine near Spilia Kissavos and injured himself with his weapon was surrendered, after the completion of a rescue operation, at the Larissa General Hospital.

According to information from onlarissa.gr, a special helicopter of the Unified Coordination Center for Search and Rescue transported the injured person after 5 p.m. to the 110th Fighter Wing and from there he was transferred to the on-call hospital.

The announcement of the fire department:

“Early in the afternoon, today, Sunday, January 7, 2024, the Operations Center of the Fire Department was notified of an injury to a man, in an inaccessible area near the Spilia settlement of D.E. Nessonos of Larissa.

A search and rescue team was immediately set up consisting of 14 firefighters from the 1st and 3rd Fire Brigades of Larissa as well as from the O.O.E.D. of the 8th E.M.A.K.

After investigations, the Firefighters, in the presence of private citizens, located the man, seriously injured, near the settlement Spilia of D.E. Nessonos of Larissa.

Then, with the help of rescuers and a doctor from EKAB, the Firefighters, after recovering him, carried him on a stretcher to a safe place and he was picked up by an EKSED helicopter.

The operation was completed at noon today, Sunday, January 7, 2024.”

It is recalled that the injury of the person – a member of a group of hunters – was allegedly caused after the fall and the firing of the cannon.

Witnessing an incredible event, the rest of the hunters tried to communicate with the unfortunate man by radio, finally finding that he was alive and had roughly bandaged his arm wound.

The man comes from a village in Larissa.
