The fire safety service provided by the Alicante Provincial Council, through the Fire Consortium, is being deployed from June 16 to September 15, operating daily for 12 hours, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. This seasonal reinforcement aims to bolster emergency response capabilities during the high-risk summer period, when elevated temperatures and increased human activity raise the potential for fires.
A dedicated fire crew has been stationed in Pilar de la Horadada throughout the municipality’s territory. This fixed unit consists of one fire officer (cabo) and three firefighters, supported by a BUP (standard fire engine) or fire tanker truck. Their mission is to provide rapid response to any fire-related incidents, ensuring safety for both residents and tourists during the summer months.
In addition, the Pilar de la Horadada Town Council is contributing to the operation by supplying a 3,000-liter fire engine assigned to Civil Protection, further expanding the firefighting resources available. The Centro Integral de Seguridad (Integrated Security Center) has also been made available to house both the firefighting personnel and the vehicle during the service period.
This collaboration between the provincial government and the local municipality exemplifies proactive planning and joint commitment to public safety, particularly during a season when fire prevention and response are critical.
