The Red Cross issued a first report on the number of injured people given treatment at the txupinazo opening event of Sanfermin fiestas. A total of 17 people received treatment, thirteen of them in the immediate vicinity of City Hall and four others at the First Aid Center (two for injuries, two for alcohol poisoning). Just one person needed to be taken off to receive hospital treatment.
For the opening day of the fiestas, The Red Cross had set up two first aid posts close to City Hall square. One of these was located at the bottom of Santo Domingo Street (at the Department of Education building) and a second post was set up at the porch of San Saturnino church. Both posts were served by medical personnel, first-aid workers, and an ambulance service and back-up vehicles, according to a press release issued by The Red Cross.
