Training has requested that the public body to create your own template anti fire service and that the City increase theirs, because the current strength does not meet the safety standards of the European Union.

That the City Council urge the Port Authority to within a maximum period of one year, provide the call for public job or entrustment to others to acquire a proper and sufficient service to ensure safety in the port area through the resources for prevention, inspection and intervention, as well as to be provided permanent ambulance service, all in a manner similar to the services of such a port infrastructure available to other State.

That's what I asked United Left-Greens today through a motion to be discussed in the next city.

In her petition that the City denouncing the agreement before it is automatically extended for the completion of five years stipulated duration is also included.

And in today, and thanks to an agreement signed in June 2010, is the city of Cartagena, with the staff of the Fire which is responsible for the coverage of prevention and fire fighting in the port area.

Or what is the same, are all Cartagena through their taxes that pay the fire service to a public body whose chief executive still boasts more than 20 million annual profit.

This situation is radically different from other ports of Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Algeciras, Alicante and Bilbao, which have a permanent self service 365 days a year and 24 hours a day-case country.

It is clear that the strength of the City of Cartagena should support in case of accident in the port area, but what can not be is solely responsible for the security thereof.

Especially when the current staff of the Fire has 7 sergeants, 17 corporals (two vacancies) and 94 firefighters (with six vacancies).

That is, some operations that do not exceed 20 effective day, when the European Union states that the security guarantee provides a firefighter for every 1,000 inhabitants, so that the city of Cartagena should have 215 troops, about 55 per shift .

Staff should also receive specific training in the treatment of losses that may occur in the port area, which is not possible with only 20,000 euros earmarked by the council, funded by the Port Authority, to the formation of such personnel.

Therefore, it has also been requested in the motion that, apart from that if you have to go to a casualty cost performance is assessed and be charged, as is done with other citizens, who City Council request the Ministry of Finance the authority to call for public job in the operational scale of Fire Station Cartagena, which is justified for security reasons, since in case of a fire in the port, the coverage in the rest of the town would not be assured.

Similarly, it has asked the City Council to propose a second activity for the staff of this service has more than 50 years and the Port Authority, if a new agreement is required to said entity financed the entire expenses, including allowances for all staff need to take courses in Gijón Jovellanos Center-only place-taught by members of the current staff of the Fire.
