Belgrade Emergency Services Respond to Record Public Interventions Amidst Heatwave

Belgrade's emergency services reported an unusually busy night, marked by a record number of interventions at public places. While no severe injuries were recorded, the high volume of calls was largely attributed to individuals falling ill due to the extreme heat during a rally held the previous evening.

Overall, the emergency services handled 146 interventions during the night. Of these, 46 occurred in public spaces. The majority of these public interventions were related to people experiencing heat-related health issues at the rally. The high temperatures are reportedly making it particularly difficult for individuals with chronic health problems to cope.

In addition to the heat-related incidents, emergency services also responded to a traffic accident. Two individuals sustained minor injuries in this incident. The report from the emergency services highlighted the challenging conditions created by the ongoing heatwave, emphasizing its impact on public health and the strain it places on emergency response resources.
