Through social media, the Mijas Town Hall announced this weekend that the collection of material for the victims of the DANA had stopped at the old fire station due to the high volume of donations made by the neighbours. In this sense, the local executive thanked the solidarity shown by all those people who, Individually or through groups, have had no limits in collaborating with this tragedy. The Town Hall also pointed out that work will continue these days in the building to organise everything that has been collected and send it to the areas most affected by the rains at the end of October.
Help from the Mijas Fire Brigade
In the meantime, the Mijas firefighters in Valencia continue to collaborate in the relief work. Among other actions, on Thursday 7th, the Mijas firefighters carried out inspection tasks in several covered car parks in the municipality of Algemesí, also bailing out water in a subway that connects the centre of this city with the Raval neighbourhood.
On Friday 8th, firefighters from Mijas were in the municipality of Alfafar, where they also checked the car park of a building and helped to restore a water pipe that supplies part of the town, continuing later with drainage work in another subway.
On Saturday, another team of firefighters left Mijas for Valencia, to take over from the five colleagues who have been deployed in these municipalities for five days. They have protective equipment for working with water provided by Operational Services, including masks and special suits, waterproof boots and rubber gloves. Once again, and as in other municipalities, the operation is coordinated by the Provincial Consortium of Firefighters of Malaga.
