Firefighters from the Provincial Fire Extinguishing

and

Rescue Service of the Huesca Provincial Council

have traveled to the scene

The work to release the victims has been going on for quite some time due to the complexity of the work, which has caused traffic jams on the road, which is one of the main accesses to
