1 august, Ziua Națională a Salvamont România. Peste un secol în slujba muntelui

Romania celebrates National Mountain Rescue Day on August 1, honoring the dedication of mountain rescuers. This date was chosen due to the high number of accidents in August. The day was officially established in 2024, recognizing a long-standing tradition among rescuers. With summer vacations, mountain trails become crowded, leading to increased incidents requiring rescue operations. The campaign '-1' aims to reduce serious accidents and promote safety awareness among tourists. Mountain rescuers emphasize the importance of responsible decision-making to prevent tragedies. Over the years, the mountain rescue service has evolved, saving thousands of lives and continuing to improve its operations.
