The Xunta's policy on fire prevention is far from being what municipalities need to effectively fight fire. This fact is confirmed every year and in the Municipality of A Pobra do Brollón it was, unfortunately, evident in 2017. The Government group of A Pobra do Brollón assures that it cannot support the precariousness of employment, the lack of professionalism in the management of the work of the brigade members, the lack of means and technical equipment that are allocated to municipalities to fight fire and the lack of criteria of the Xunta in the prevention work, not meeting the real needs of the different municipalities.
For the Mayor, Xosé Lois Maceda, fire prevention work is a priority and in this sense the council will have its own brigade, but understand that an agreement cannot be signed that every year shows its inefficiency, contributing to increasing the precariousness of workers' employment and not achieving objectives in both prevention and extinction.
