The most important part of controlling forest fires is prevention. This is the message from the Head of Citizen Security, Antonio Merino, as he presented the local Forest Fire Prevention Campaign.
“A hot, dry summer awaits us and we must all unite in order to avoid forest fires,” says Merino. “The different administrations must work together to face this scourge and most importantly highlight the role of prevention and raise awareness in the community with every means at our disposal.”
The Municipal Emergency Plan coordinates all local and regional resources and establishes a hierarchy within the framework of operations when, in case of necessity, they attend a local forest fire. “This is a very useful tool for the fire brigades to coordinate and act with the greatest effectiveness possible, He added.
César Reales, Coordinator of the Civil Protectionl, listed the different resources available to carry out vigilance and prevention, such as the permanent presence of two volunteers with two vehicles, one carrying water, to intervene rapidly as the summer weather intensifies.
