The acting mayor of Madrid, Inma Sanz, has visited the works of the logistics center for the municipal fire department that the City Council is building in the La Atayuela industrial estate, in Villa de Vallecas, an infrastructure that will be completed in the summer after a investment of 4.7 million euros.
The delegate of Works and Equipment, Paloma García Romero, and the presiding councilor of the district, Carlos González, have accompanied Sanz to the final stretch of the works of this logistics center, where, in the course of the work, remains of eight specimens of elephants from about 14,000 million years ago.
Jaws, tusks, femurs and humeri of these ancient elephants were recovered, and the remains were deposited in the Regional Archaeological Museum of the Community of Madrid, in the municipality of Alcalá de Henares, where they will be preserved.
All of this on the land where the new logistics center is being built, which “will respond to the service needs that the Madrid Fire Department requires in this matter, providing greater optimization in the organization of the work that they provide daily to the people of Madrid,” he highlighted. Sanz.
Currently, the facilities of the firefighter logistics unit located next to Park 10 in Villaverde are obsolete and do not respond to the needs of the service, so storage is decentralized in the offices of the different municipal parks.
In addition, a storage space rental service has been contracted, which represents an additional cost and the subsequent effort when organizing the work.
The new logistics center, which will have a constructed area of 3,297 square meters and two volumes, will allow you to optimize the organization of your work and will also mean savings in space rental costs.
The warehouse will house the large amount of material dispersed throughout all the departments of the Fire Department and its different special units (swarms, furniture and household goods, school, RBQ, rescue at height, traffic accidents, pedagogical group, logistical support or intervention ).
There will also be some units of the Respiratory Equipment Workshop, where it will be ensured that the respiratory protection equipment (RPE), important and vital for the interventions, is in the best safety conditions.
