Navasfrias.net, angered by the lack of means to extinguish the fire of Navasfrías

"Angry", This has shown the mayor of the town of Salamanca Navasfrías, Celso Ramos, after a fire last Monday calcined 30 hectares of pine, scrub oak and public mount of this municipality.

And his anger is due to the lack of means used in extinguishing the flames of this fire that stopped just at the entrance of the Natural Park Malcata, and in Portugal.

"The media arrived in dribs and drabs", says Celso Ramos, "The fire started at 16.15 hours and the 20.00 hours have come air means, in fact, the helicopter had to leave because he had fulfilled the hours ".

But worst of all, es que en una nave de la localidad la Junta de Castilla y León guarda una tanqueta para la extinción de incendios que no pudo ser utilizada porque no había un conductor disponible. "Today no one is hired to lead and could not be used, because you can only do the person responsible for it ", Ramos explained. "In 10 minutes could have been there and stop it long before ", continues, "Even during the fire season there are problems because we depend on people coming from outside".

Alderman and neighbors lamented that "a vehicle of more than 180 thousand euros is stopped in a town that only public forest has 3000 hectares".
