A person died choking at a distance of 9 kilometres from Coruche fire station. The death occurred due to cardiorespiratory arrest after the victim choked.
The nearest firefighters to the incident were all busy, which would have made a faster response to the incident impossible.
The case occurred in Coruche, a municipality in the district of Santarém, and highlights the difficulties of emergency response in areas where distances to fire stations can be significant.
The situation raises questions about the emergency services' response capacity in the region, particularly in cases that require immediate intervention such as choking.
