The Cartagena Fire Station and the personnel that work in it have increased the protection, prevention and hygiene measures due to the health crisis, so that the objects that are handled there are being disinfected twice a day, the Incoming shift is not in contact with the outgoing shift and the use of common rooms, such as the gym or kitchen, has been prohibited.
In addition, several vehicles have been prepared to intervene in situations where there may be contact with an infected person, as well as collaborations with health personnel or entry into homes in which help is requested, all through the development of specific intervention protocols.
Some companies, such as Repsol and Maypol, have donated masks so that firefighters can act more safely.
SLIGHT DESCENT OF INTERVENTIONS
The Fire Extinguishing and Rescue Service of the Cartagena City Council has carried out a total of 47 interventions since the state of alarm was decreed, on March 14, until March 30, both inclusive, a figure slightly lower than that corresponding to the same 2019 period, when 55 services were produced.
Most of these interventions refer to fire fighting, building renovation, falling trees, signs or lampposts, and also some care for disabled people.
Out of these data is the day 24, in which a DANA took place that originated 22 services of members of the Fire Department related to rain and wind, mainly due to landslides of buildings, fallen trees and landslides.
A much higher number than on March 24, 2019, in which there were only 3 interventions.
In general, less activity has led to fewer services, although this decrease is not too significant, since it must be borne in mind that part of these services are visits by schoolchildren, which in 2019 were five, but this year there was no are performing.
