The Civil Guard of Segovia intervened on Thursday afternoon at a livestock farm located in Aldea Real, where heavy rainfall had led to the flooding of a building housing approximately 400 pigs. The situation prompted immediate action after local authorities received an alert about the rapid floodwaters that were threatening the lives of these animals. With about 4,000 pigs total on the farm, the efforts to save the 400 in immediate danger were critical to prevent a large-scale loss of livestock.

Upon arrival, the Civil Guard confirmed that the water level was rapidly rising, exceeding the capacity of the farm's existing drainage systems. Collaborating with the owners of the farm and several local residents, they worked for four hours, focusing on draining the building and containing the floodwaters. The coordinated effort succeeded in averting disaster, ensuring that the pigs were kept safe from the life-threatening situation of drowning in the rising waters.

This incident highlights the importance of emergency response coordination between local authorities and community members during natural disasters. The Civil Guard's prompt action and the swift involvement of stakeholders in the area not only saved the animals but also reflected the community's commitment to protecting local agricultural resources. Such incidents can deeply impact both the economy and the livelihood of farmers, making these collaboration efforts essential in crisis situations.
