To strengthen the Civil Protection and Firefighters with more and better equipment, this Wednesday three fire trucks were delivered to the institution.
The trucks were acquired with one hundred percent municipal resources, and will contribute not only in daily work, but in the safety of the staff themselves and their working conditions.
Councilor Alicia Briones Mercado, president of the building commission for Civil Protection, Risk Management, and Firefighters, recognized the work that the head of this agency has done to improve the work team that for six years has been strengthened with vehicles, boats, special suits, and tools for lifeguards.
She specified that in this case 1,778,280 pesos were allocated, with the city's own resources, for the purchase of these three motor-pump trucks that will be used for fire fighting and other emergency and security actions.
Adrián Bobadilla García, head of the agency, celebrated the integration of these three units that will improve the service provided to citizens every day, vehicles that have a pump and a capacity of three thousand liters of water, in addition to transporting and protecting the personnel.
“Within the institution's projects, one of the priorities is always to minimize, mitigate, and reduce response times in emergencies. It is a priority that society demands of us, therefore, to fulfill this objective. Personnel, equipment, and vehicles are required. That is why these three vehicles come to strengthen the capacities that we already have, to strengthen the service we provide,” he said.
He also mentioned that these three vehicles will provide security in the transport of personnel; "Working conditions are improved and the necessary tools are available, which will be reflected in attention to citizens," he said.
On behalf of all the elements of Civil Protection and Firefighters, he thanked the support provided to the agency, as well as to the councilor Alicia Briones for the steps taken, and for always being aware of the immediate needs of the community.
