Workers’ Commissions will request in writing from the competent administrations the clarification and reasons why the Arona City Council did not activate the Municipal Emergency Plan (PEMU) and the Tenerife Council did not do the same with the Territorial Insular Emergency Plan (PEIN).
Both administrations, according to the national civil protection system, Law 17/2015, are obliged to activate their emergency plans in these cases and, however, no plan was activated in the fire that occurred in a composting plant in Arona.
It is an intervention that required the action of many resources and its toxic smoke affected the population. According to the group that coordinates FSC-CC.OO. firefighters, emergency plans should be activated according to each administrative rank.
