“There is a lack of men and means for the Fire Brigade of the Rimini command”. FP Cgil Rimini wrote an open letter to Jamil Sadegholvaad, mayor and president of the Province of Rimini, complaining about the lack of staff and means to manage the significant amount of work in the Rimini area.
A staff deficit of 20% compared to the expected staffing plan, 45 units less.
The mayor comments on the situation by speaking of “Notoriously bleak picture“, with the provincial command having only one ladder truck at its disposal for the entire territory including any interventions in San Marino. The staff shortage is defined as serious in consideration of the “need to cover a vast provincial territory, with very high tourist attractiveness and with an inevitable growth in requests for intervention”.
Sadegholvaad recalls his initiative: an online signature collection, to be submitted to the Government, in support of the permanent strengthening of the police force in the Rimini area. Born not to make controversy, but to reveal “an incontrovertible fact: the inadequacy of the responses coming from the central bodies of the State on an essential area such as security”.
“In the years– highlights the mayor – despite the repeated appeals, letters, meetings and clashes with the various governments that have alternated, nothing has ever changed and it is only thanks to the extraordinary commitment made by the police and public security forces and by virtue of a territory which in its components has always shown to be capable of networking, but still managed to guarantee a high level of control”.
“Do we really have to give in to the self-help, three-way theory? The participation in the petition, with over three thousand signatures between the online platform and paper forms in two weeks, suggests that not everyone thinks this way. I trust that the Government will take note of the real conditions in which the security forces operate and what the concrete needs of a provincial territory which cannot be compared to others due to its characteristics and presence”comments the mayor.
