The Department of Citizen Security, Civil Protection, and Emergencies of the Calp City Council has published the annual report of interventions by the Civil Protection Volunteer Group for the year 2025. The data reflects a year of intense activity, where the 28 volunteers committed to the group accumulated a total of 5,542 hours of active service.
Throughout the past year, the civil body provided coverage for 74 public events and carried out 208 forest surveillance operations, a fundamental preventive task for the municipality. The Head of the Local Group, Juan Carlos Rubio, emphasized the balance achieved between prevention tasks and the capacity for immediate response to emergency situations.
One of the key points of the annual balance is the performance of the rapid intervention vehicle acquired in January 2025. The Councillor for Emergencies, Guillermo Sendra, described the figures as “extraordinary,” highlighting that this light unit intervened in 21 fires in its first year of service. This vehicle stands out for its technical versatility, featuring a 600-liter tank and a dual-function pump (extinction and water drainage). Its equipment is completed with a winch for self-rescue tasks, allowing urgent action before incidents escalate.
“"The acquisition of this motor pump vehicle has proven to be key. Its ability to immediately tackle small fires is vital to prevent greater harm in our municipality."
The Mayor of Calp, Ana Sala, positively assessed the strategic importance of this investment. Furthermore, the mayor expressed her gratitude to the human team, recognizing the great selfless work carried out by the volunteers, whose dedication is fundamental for the safety of all Calp residents.
With this report, the city council reaffirms its commitment to the continuous improvement of emergency resources and the protection of the environment in Calp.
