For her part, the Minister of Natural Environment and Safety Management, Isabel García, pointed out that “Gesplan has a great and important experience in the forestry areas of the island, which has a significant impact on the efficiency of the service to be provided”.

The Cecopin, which will be active throughout the year, will have a daytime service of 14 hours in morning and afternoon shifts in the coordination center of two managers and of ten hours in night shift of one manager, in addition to a location service for reinforcement in case of emergencies.

Among the functions that are developed in this coordination room, the application for incident management and fleet monitoring can be pointed out, as well as recording telephone or radio conversations, assigning alarm means, adding and withdrawing media, notification of news and GPS positioning of the assigned media.

The order includes, in the surveillance section, a Fire Watch Tower service in Picachos (with an emergency vehicle) and another in the Fire Watch Tower in Gaitero.

And as for the extinction, there are four Fire Post services made up of two brigades of eight personnel in each position during daytime hours and a brigade of four personnel at night during four months.

In addition, a Fire Sub-Post service made up of a four-man brigade during daytime, half a two-man brigade at night for four months a year.

This commission also includes the carrying out of preventive work, which will be carried out by 14 teams.
