There is a lack of men and equipment for the firefighters at the command of Rimini. FP Cgil Rimini and FP Cgil VVF Rimini sent a letter to the mayor of Rimini and to the president of the Province, in both cases Jamil Sadegholvaad, listing the critical issues in the provincial command of the Rimini fire brigade. With the summer, the temperature in the barracks will also rise because “the massive influx of tourists will lead to a consequent increase in the need for security and rescue”. The problem has been of national importance for years now and has repercussions in the Rimini area. “The provincial command of Rimini – the union explains – currently has only one ladder truck, despite the high concentration of hotels, residences and multi-storey pensions in the province. This limitation was also reported to the Regional Directorate of the Fire Brigade Department fire, underlining the seriousness of the situation. Furthermore, based on the bilateral agreements between the Italian State and the Republic of San Marino, the ladder truck and personnel could also be requested for rescue interventions in the San Marino territory”. Things aren’t any better for employees. “To date the provincial command has a shortage of 45 units compared to the expected staff. Even if the Bellaria – Igea Marina detachment is opened during the summer, the staff employed are the same ones who already work overtime, increasing the load Lastly, barring last-minute changes, from the end of June the Fire Brigade department will start a qualification transfer course lasting five weeks, further involving the staff of the Rimini Command, and worsening the current situation”.
