Through this initiative, the provincial institution reinforces its commitment to territorial equity, ensuring that all residents, regardless of their municipality, have access to essential services with the same standards of care and safety.
The new facility is part of the Diputación Responde Plan and aims to reduce intervention times for forest fires, evacuations, or urgent medical transfers, particularly in mountainous or hard-to-reach areas.
The Deputy for Firefighters, David Vicente, highlighted that the new helipad is now operational, emphasizing the institution's goal of ensuring the fastest and most efficient response to any emergency. He noted that this development represents a further step towards a safer and better-prepared province against potential risks and disasters.
Vicente further remarked that these infrastructures improve both urgent healthcare and the mobility of emergency teams, while also enhancing the safety and quality of life for residents in the interior regions.
The Diputación recalled that, as part of this strategy, six helipads have already been constructed over three years in municipalities such as Sorita, Barracas, la Jana, Torás, la Torre d’en Besora, and Gaibiel, aiming to strengthen emergency coverage throughout the province.
The provincial institution has argued that these investments contribute to combating depopulation and ensuring that living in the interior is synonymous with safety, well-being, and opportunities.
