Civil Protection
Xàbia spent
5,000 hours
in forestry
surveillance,
preventive
services and the
training of its
volunteers
The local group of Civil Protection
Xàbia has done a balance of its
activities in 2018, a summary that
helps visualize the great dedication
of this voluntary body to the
community.
In total there are 4,923 hours of
services: mainly, 3020 hours, for
forestry surveillance, a function that
they fulfill from mid-June to mid-
October and also in Easter with 30
volunteers.
Civil Protection reviewed 16
incidents that have been mobilized
during this period, from small fires or
fires (from containers, canines, fields
or even a kitchen) to the greatest
performance of the season: the forest
fire that affected the Natural Park
of Montgó on 8 July. In addition,
the group participated in other
emergencies, such as the floods in the
Sandy on August 18, the rescue of an
elder who fell into a well of Tarraula or
the search operatives of two missing
persons.
Another important element is
preventative services (1,080 hours)
that range from sports competitions,
