«a permanent presence on the island is necessary all year round» – Nordest24

Grade. The local press recently announced that this year i Fire fighters will be present in Grado already on the occasion of the Pentecost and during other holidays between May and June, such as Corpus Christi. The news was confirmed after a meeting held on the island, in the presence of the Commander of the Gorizia Fire Brigade, Eng. Pierpaolo Gentile, the regional councilor, Dr. Cristina Almirante, Senator Francesca Tubetti and the Extraordinary Commissioner of the Municipality of Grado, Dr. Augusto Viola. During the meeting, the presence of the Fire Brigade in Grado from 29 June to 31 August was also confirmed.

The importance of a fixed presence

“An excellent thing to bring forward the opening of the garrison on the island” they declare Damjan Nacini And Claudio Ughiregional secretary of FVG and provincial of Gorizia respectively Conapo, Autonomous Fire Brigade Union. “The early opening is proof of the need for a permanent presence all year round”.

For some time the Conapo calls for the opening of a permanent detachment of professional firefighters on the island of Grade, as the closest team is currently located in Monfalcone, covering a very large area. This increases the risk that, in the event of a request for help in Grado, it will be necessary to wait for the arrival of the firefighters from Gorizia, with long waiting times given the distance of over 40 km.

A question of safety

“We thank everyone who made these early openings possible” add the Conapo trade unionists. “We are confident that something is finally moving. Now we hope that soon the people of Grado and all the tourists, attracted by the beauty of the island, will be able to benefit from the presence of a team of professional firefighters all year round”.

Conapo’s appeal

The regional secretary Damjan Nacini and the provincial secretary Claudio Ughi continue to underline the importance of a fixed garrison on the island of Grado. A permanent detachment would guarantee not only greater safety for residents and tourists, but also quicker intervention in case of emergencies.

The future of security in Grado

Conapo’s request also finds support from local institutions. The presence of the Fire Brigade during the holiday periods is only a first step towards the creation of a fixed garrison, which represents a necessary solution to effectively respond to the safety needs of the island.

A permanent presence: an investment for the community

The constant presence of the Fire Brigade in Grado represents an important investment for the local community and for tourism. Security is a fundamental element for the development and growth of an area, and a fixed presence would help strengthen the trust of residents and visitors.
