The firefighters of Gran Canaria and the rest of the team present in Valencia received a “wonderful detail” that filled their hearts. The Canarian deployment deployed in the Dana recovery work in Valencia recharges with energy thanks to the small and large gestures of neighbors.
“A little boy approached us to give us one of those gifts that we love so much, drawings dedicated to thanking us.”
The Canarian emergency system continues to work tirelessly in the garages and houses of Alfafar and in the last few hours has integrated the rest of the contingent who were traveling by boat.
The emergency device deployed by the Government of the Canary Islands in Valencia carries out water evacuations in garages and houses in the town of Alfafar with eight teams deployed in the designated area. In addition, this contingent will take care of requests that they be received at the command post of the island. They have completed the drainage of the accumulated water in two properties and will continue with the sanitary team of the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) in a house in Alfafar which has not yet been reviewed by emergency teams.
The troops deployed in the area will also continue the removal of debris, mud and garbage from the streets of localities in Sector 4 Alfafar-Massanassa.
Gratitude will always be ours…
