The SAVYT RESCUE Center, located in Cártama (Málaga), covers an area of 10,000 square meters. It is the only official and regulated center in Spain specialized in Road Accidents involving Light, Heavy and Railway Vehicles. Both the center and the teaching staff are approved and endorsed by international institutions and experts.

For the continuous training of professionals, it is necessary to have a training area in which scenarios can be simulated as closely as possible to reality. Aware that an urban environment or the fire stations themselves do not have enough space for this type of training, due to the need to move heavy vehicles and specific tools, this training area is ideal for the excellent training of professionals, allowing them to perform interventions in a faster, safer and more effective way to obtain the maximum guarantees of success with the sole objective of saving lives in road accidents. In an open environment, with road access and away from urbanizations, the center has the most optimal conditions for these practices, avoiding noise and disturbance to neighbors. In addition, the facilities have different levels of difficulty allowing students to overcome new challenges.

Prevention. The objective is very clear: to avoid an incident while protecting the property and lives of all those involved. It includes a set of different but complementary preparatory measures, at an objective and technical level, but also subjective and psychological.

Preparedness. Training in prevention does not only mean having the necessary knowledge to prevent an accident from occurring, there must also be a technical, health and psychological preparation that will allow us to control the situation if it finally occurs.

Response. Our method trains first responders to recognize an emergency. An effective post-incident response integrates injury care, psychological care, legal support and the systematic collection of incident data.

Recovery. Post-incident action is necessary and includes a complete analysis of the technical, health and psychological response, data collection and recovery of the psychological state of the intervening team. In order to offer the best service, it is essential to adopt the fastest response and offer the greatest possible attention to direct and indirect victims.
