PRESS RELEASE
UIL PA FIRE BRIGADES – SERIOUS LOGISTICAL DEFICIENCIES BORGO EGNAZIA G7
“No logistics, no place to sleep, rest or shelter from the sun. These are the conditions in which the firefighters engaged in support operations for the G7 in Borgo Egnazia are operating. There are about 60 active firefighters who still have nowhere to change, regain strength and take a shower. Tents, not yet erected, are planned inside a fire brigade garage in Brindisi. Someone found shelter under a tree, a situation bordering on the surreal. And if the Bari command gave accommodation to all the colleagues who arrived from Foggia, Barletta, Avellino and Benevento, the same cannot be said of the Brindisi command. No gray area, even food was delivered irregularly, and there are only two chemical toilets for 20-40 people per shift. An event that has been planned for months and which instead seems to have been put together at the last minute, without the slightest respect for the firefighters there in Brindisi to provide their service before the eyes of the whole world” he denounces Giuseppe Santororegional secretary of the Uil Pa Puglia fire brigade.
