The Emergency Civil Protection Plan for Forest Fires in the Region of Murcia (Infomur) has closed its time of high danger.
To take stock of these last months have organized an event attended by two volunteers representing the group of Alhama, accompanied by the Councilor for Civil Protection, Felipe García, as well as members of Civil Protection and environmental agents throughout the Region.
Civil Protection volunteers have participated in the extinction of 45 forest fires that burned 153.85 hectares of land, a figure that represents a significant reduction compared to the previous year.
The general director of Citizen Security and Emergencies of the Region, José Ramón Carrasco, and the director general of Medio Natural, Consuelo Rosauro, have highlighted that this reduction of the affected area and the fact that only a dozen of the 45 declared fires exceeded the hectare of burned land is due to "the professionalism and efficiency of the human and material resources coordinated from the direction of the Infomur Plan".
The City of Alhama de Murcia wants to acknowledge and thank the work of all volunteers of Civil Protection of the municipality, in addition to its commitment to protect the natural environment of our Region.
