“The Civil Service, in recent days, authorized the announcement of the competition procedure and the Fire Department has prepared the new IT application for the validation of the candidates’ personal data. The announcement of the competition for 350 Firefighter positions will be published on June 20th on the institutional website of the Fire Department and on the InPa portal”. This was announced by the Undersecretary of the Interior with responsibility for the Fire Brigade, Emanuele Prisco.
“This competition represents a further, significant step in the process already started by the Government to strengthen the National Fire Brigade. Young staff will be hired, aged up to 26, in possession of a high school diploma who will receive the necessary training to acquire all the professional skills that will be needed to guarantee an increasingly efficient and adequate prevention and rescue service”.
Waste set on fire in the center and on the outskirts, firefighters intervene
Waste fires last night in Palermo. The fires were set in Largo Entella, Via Beato Angelico and Via Silvestri. Firefighters were busy putting out the flames and preventing the fires from spreading to parked cars.
In some areas of Palermo, especially in the suburbs such as in via Messina Marine, but also in the center such as in Ballarò, there are piles of uncollected rubbish. The firefighters were also busy putting out brush fires in via Sarullo and via Alla Falconara.
Another waste emergency, open-air landfills on fire
There is a waste emergency again in Palermo. A few days ago, various open-air landfills in the Bonagia area (via San Filippo) and via dell’Orsa Minore were set on fire.
Some residents said that in recent days the bins were now submerged with bags and bulky items: so, taking advantage of the night hours, someone set fires to burn the mountains of rubbish that had accumulated for some time. Fire brigade teams intervened on site, while in neighboring buildings residents closed their windows to avoid breathing the dioxin released into the air.
