Following the forest fires that affected the region last week, the subsequent declaration of the Fire Emergency in Concordia and the creation of an Emergency Committee, efforts were carried out with the Province to ensure the availability of a national government firefighting aircraft in the area.
On Tuesday, as a result of the actions led by Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Fire Management Plan, which reports to the Provincial Secretariat of Environment, a firefighting aircraft from the Federal Fire Management System arrived.
The NEA region Fire Management Plan has aircraft available for fighting forest fires. The one that arrived in Concordia will carry out tasks in the provincial territory, based in our city.
It is an Air Tractor 802 that will provide support to volunteer firefighters and brigade members in the event of a large-scale forest fire like those that affected our area in recent days.
During Wednesday, the Provincial Fire Management Plan will hand over to the Forest/Civil Brigade, belonging to the Directorate of Civil Protection and Health Emergencies of the Municipal Health Secretariat, on a loan-for-use basis, a 100,000-liter water reservoir so that in case the aircraft needs to operate, it has the corresponding water supply.
As the Concordia Airport is under construction, the aircraft will remain at the facilities of our city's Aeroclub, whose members immediately agreed to collaborate by lending their infrastructure, a gesture that prompted an expression of gratitude from the authorities.
