Caravaca de la Cruz will have a new fire station of the Consortium for Firefighting and Rescue, as indicated today by the Minister of Transparency, Participation and Public Administration, Beatriz Ballesteros, who visited the municipality today to advance the project of the future park of City firefighters.
After meeting with the mayor, José Francisco García, both agreed to move forward in the search for a space that will allow the construction of new facilities, under the Consortium of Fire and Rescue of the Region of Murcia (CEIS), to cover the entire Northwest region.
Ballesteros said that "it is a necessary infrastructure that needs to be equipped with the latest technologies and that serves as a reference park for the fight against possible forest fires, given its location, located a few kilometers away from the largest area of ​​forest mass of the Region of Murcia and its radius of influence, which reaches the municipalities of Moratalla, Calasparra, Cehegín or Bullas ".
The objective is to improve the location of the facilities, so that the response time is reduced and, therefore, a more agile and effective reaction can be carried out to all the consortium municipalities, which cover a total of 2,374 square kilometers.
The current park dates from 1982 and was ceded to the CEIS by the Caravaca City Council in 1990. It is located in the northern part of the municipality, so emergency vehicles must cross the urban area every time they have to travel to other locations from the area
Currently the Caravaca fire station covers five percent of the total annual interventions of the Consortium firefighters.
It has 20 firefighters, five ropes and a sergeant and has two urban pumper vehicles, an urban nurse, a heavy rural pumper and a 21-meter-tall vehicle.
New multifunctional nurse vehicles
To these means is now added a forestry nurse vehicle, which also serves as a snowplow if necessary.
This is one of the two acquisitions, of similar characteristics, of the Consortium of Firefighting and Rescue of the Region of Murcia and that will serve in the fire stations of Caravaca de la Cruz and Cieza.
These trucks of two axles have a capacity of load of water of 6,500 liters and have the option of incorporating a snowplow to work in the region of the Northwest, as it happened only a few weeks ago during the stormy 'Gloria'.
The investment of both exceeds 575.00 euros and its management requires specific training courses, which are included in the comprehensive training plan of the CEIS.
