As from today, Maó’s Port has another fire truck APB president, Mr. Joan Gual de Torrella, granted Mrs. Maite Salord, president of Menorca Insland Council. With this vehicle, APB reinforces Menorca Island Council fire-fighting facilities since both institutions collaborate in terms of fire protection and firefighting services, rescue and civil protection, with the aim to optimize resources within the means available to raise safety standards. It has to be taken into account that landside’s port service area is located in Maó and es Castell municipalities. Maó Port has an Internal Emergency Plan developed by APB where Menorca Island Council Fire Prevention and Extinction Service is considered as intervention group whose main functions are on-shore and vessels’ fire extinguishing, civil protection operations’ intervention, evacuation tasks, rescue operations and taking part in emergency drills, among many others. Current collaboration agreement between APB and Consell de Menorca was signed last 2012 and will run for 15 years.
